Started the ball rolling for this IT English specialist.
Germans and IT Geeks have no sense of humour, so they say. One of the reasons I like my job is the surprises. Luv students who are open to new teaching methods, and then run with it.
I stole an idea from James Schofield at BESIG for ideas collection; Brainpooling. This I framed as:
How can your company encourage and maintain creativity and innovation to stay ahead of the 8 ball?
Although the ideas created were fabtastic ranging from time in lieu for creative ideas implemented and being successful, to setting up a mentoring club for knowledge transference.
My favourite was the students proving the opening adage to this text wrong.
Being a writer myself, it was actually their creative use of lingo that was just exemplary.
To quote;
“the guys who designed the new Renault must have had inebriated creativity to do that”
” we need Creative Perpetual Motion in our company, na, CPM”.
Had my laughter muscles exercised from both.
I would recommend trying this technique from James Schofield for anyone looking for ideas or solutions.
What have been your moments of laughter, and that prove prejudices wrong?
