Our first glimpse of creative design...

Listening to the presentations on the five chapters of creative design help to build some understanding as to what exactly is creative design. I still feel as though I will need to continuously reference the five chapters.

What I found most interesting about today's class was the process that took place when we were assigned the task of forming groups in order to approach our first creative design challenge. Without even knowing it, we replicated the discovery chapter of the creative design for teachers toolkit. We started with one simple idea, watched it grow into many different ideas based on the perspectives of the people in the group, struggled to come to some sort of agreement, then we refocused our goals, revisited our task at hand, and eventually ended up with the first idea that we had been presented with. 

Whether this activity was on purpose or not, I think it did provide me with some understanding as to how this process was going to unravel. 

Once in my group, myself and my group members started bouncing ideas off each other and had a rather productive brainstorming session
