KLF III: Extending the Learning


Based on the Torrance Incubation Model, the final stage of bringing it all together in Extending the Learning spreads out some of the most intricate metaphors that helps to ignite and surface the most novel ideas with metaphors such as Having a Ball, Singing in One's Own Key, Building Sand Castles, Plugging in the Sun, Shaking Hands With Tomorrow.

This final activity for my session would bring together all the participants to create a giant brainstorming wall where the cumulative wisdom of all would contribute their ideas to "How Can  Kindergarten Teachers Facilitate More Creativity?".



By reiterating the importance of the Brainstorming ground rules, it is hope that the participants will collaborately apply the earlier brainstorming techniques from the play stations to generate some novel and valuable ideas. While giving personal meaning to the new information and relating their personal experience to the earlier tasks, hopefully, the strategies will form a basis for helping teachers to start imagining, fantasizing, searching for ideal solutions or otherwise taking off from what is been read, heard, or encountered and find available resources of energy or inspiration to enlarge, enrich, and make more accurate one's images of the future.

By 'Shaking Hands With Tomorrow', the kinesthetic experience will help to value add the very purpose why they chose to attend this play-full yo-yo session!
