​Teaching & Learning

What does critical thinking mean in a world with conflicting perspectives?

Double Take!

Creativity...Innovation...Teaching...Learning...as I reflect on these terms, I wonder about it's application in the real world. To what extent would one go to be creative? Could one contradict oneself in the process of trying to be creative or innovative?

Being a Canadian living in Switzerland, I have experienced many different perspectives...some I wouldn't even think of in the moment. Everyday is a learning adventure both visually and linguistically. Some wonder and ask how I have settled here and many would question whether I am trying hard enough to integrate. One thing I can say is I've learnt to become innovative in my ways of understanding the world. I'm developing as a person by adding something new to my existing understanding of the world. (Badran, 2007) In a way the world is teaching me and I'm learning...the question lies am I creative in my approach in seeing the challenges and celebrations around me?

Funny enough this weekend while grocery shop, as one does on a weekend, I stumbled across something rather peculiar. I question whether this is creativity or some may say just a mean joke. Admittedly I had a double take and looked twice at what I was seeing.

What?

I feel there need to be some conversations in the marketing department!
