Blog Post of the Day:
Yesterday I asked your to "think differently" and push yourself to be uncommon with your PSA project using Google Slides. Why do you think I asked you to do that? What is the point? Why not just use bullets and headers? Explain.

I think that we were told to be creative because a lot of school work kills creativity. Creativity is defined as "Creativity is a phenomenon whereby something new and valuable is created (such as an idea, a joke, an artistic or literary work, a painting or musical composition, a solution, an invention etc.)." In school, we aren't supposed to be creative. For example, in a math problem we are told to do it a certain way and then show our work in a certain way and then write the answer a certain way. In English, we are told to write about a predetermined subject and stay within those limits for a certain amount of pages and then turn it in. In this class, we have a rare opportunity to be unique and creative because part of technology is inspiring creativity.If we just used bullets and headers, we might as well have just written a paper about the topic. What would be the point of a slideshow that doesn't have creativity.
