Thing 5
I haven’t looked at my reader since I set it up about a week ago, but I already find the content to be slightly overwhelming. I can appreciate why people like rss feeds. The fun of having it all on one page is sort of nice. But I have to say, if I want to read the sites I love, I would just rather visit them. The reader makes me feel like there’s too much to catch up on.
Anyways, the interesting thing about this post was that I had never really thought about the difference between creativity and art. It is true that many teachers tend to stifle creativity in lieu of structure, but I try not to do that. Yes, guidelines are a constant in school, but creativity can exist within the lines. I’m not saying you can’t beat yourself over the head with a fish and call it a biology demonstration, but creativity can fit within the box, while still allowing expression.
