AAAaaaaaarrrrg!! I just wrote a long comment and poof! it is gone!!! Cant find it here or on this blog!! Teaching how to ALWAYS copy and save your writing to a separate note or page is probably another tool to add to all the others! So to begin again...Christine, I find it interesting that your first book has several of the same basic ideas that, Thinking Like Leonardo, does. I find them to be good creative practice for anyone that wants to enjoy develop a deeper appreciation for a more in-tuned creative life. The first book had 13 and mine had 7 tools yet some of the 7 were combinations that included some of your 13. The two I thought were a bit different were the Analogy and the Empathy ones. Which were good and important to add. Your second book was great as well and I liked how different if was as far as it's wonderful group working and collaborating. I am a real believer and advocate for Isolation vs Collaboration and all the points that fall under that. This is my preferred way of teaching and learning with my students and I find it to be more satisfying for all involved. I know that students need time to do independent thinking and have incubation time, but the group can help to propel creativity form thought into form. Nice work! Thank you for the great resources.
