Activity A.T1.L1.1 Understanding Brainstorming tool

One of the most successful tools to develop creative solutions to a problem is brainstorming. Its major advantage is the promotion of out-of-the-box thinking.

The brainstorming technique deals with examining a topic or concept by encouraging / motivating students to freely express their ideas. The aim is to involve students in exploring the subject with any spontaneous ideas or suggestions. In the context of applying this technique, the teacher first sets one appropriate question, designed to ponder students and stimulate their thinking and imagination.

Activity A.T1.L1.02 Understanding Six hats way of thinking

Sometimes good ideas come in unusual packages. The goal of brainstorming is to let ideas flow—no idea is too crazy or far-fetched. In this activity, participants learn a creative and focused style of brainstorming called parallel thinking, by “trying on” different colored hats, which represent different ways of approaching the same problem—thus thinking in parallel ways to find the best solution.
