At this stage it seems that we have a solid direction for the way our project will be constructed. Each of us has been busy at reading various research and in our Ventrilo meetings, we’ve made connections between the mass of information we’ve gathered.
My present plan is to revisit some of the more complex ideas I’ve encountered to assure that I am “getting it,” rework what I have, clarify and strengthen ties. In the course of reviewing what I have been thinking about, I believe that allowing for more expression that is often designated as “creative” is not only a natural function of human thought, it is indeed taken for granted because it is how we think most rapidly and often on a subconscious level. The human ability to do so has as much impact as our opposable thumbs! Innovation is born out of the human ability to think and act creatively. To ignore our ability to do so and only revere linear thought and expression is to deny a large part of human nature.
My current writing about this is rambling, as I read and thought about this with a terrific fever. The good news: I’ve told my employer that I can’t work much (if at all) until the end of the semester. This should provide me with the time I need to dig deeper, compose, and meet in person with the group.
