Imagine: How Creativity Works

Imagine: How Creativity Works is the title of a new book by Jonah Lehrer.  In this short video by Flash Rosenberg, the main idea of the book is summarized in an entertaining use of live-drawing.  I first found out about this video on Free Tech 4 Teachers, and immediately showed it to my 5th graders, who are currently working on their Genius Hour projects.  It’s a great way to justify my refusal to give them the answers immediately when they encounter obstacles, and it’s a much better explanation than that I am just being a lazy teacher!
