有一篇文章非常有趣：
The Brains Behind Creativity。

(Clip art licensed from the Discovery School's Clip Art Gallery)

這一篇文章談到creative personality:
 Gifted people in the arts or science tend to enjoy adventure, and they often like to explore new places or ideas. They don't like being hemmed in by rules or convention and often look at problems from a different angle.

我們在班級經營是否也應保留更多的彈性，讓有創意的學生有發揮的天空？

文章中也提到The environment plays a role in the creative process的例子 (Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo)。 

文章中開發創造力的建議很受用：
 Build a Better Brain
1. Explore unfamiliar area of knowledgle.
2. Spend time each day thinking.
3. Practice the art of paying attention.
4. Use your imagination.

 Nurture Creativity in Children (也可運用於班級經營及教學)

2. Emphasize diverse topics of study.
3. Encourage curiosity.
4. Get children interested in music.
