Flourishitivity

Nicolle, Spencer, Eric Group Name: Flourishtivity, a spontaneous decision for our group name, describing the flourishing creativity we hope to promote in our classrooms! Our team's topic is Teresa Amabile's model for creativity to flourish. Amabile's study of creativity in the workplace resulted in her theory of the factors that promote creativity. Three important elements are domain relevant skills, creativity-relevant skills, and task motivation. This week's discussion of what was creative about the shell video touched on creativity-relevant skills. The creators of the video were able to imagine the perspective of the shell, which demonstrates their creative skills. The video below is a student-made video illustrating intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GohkieaDkDs&feature=related
