Response to B.’s Learning Activity 2

Learning Activity 2 – Rank, Talk, Write

What I particularly liked about your summary is Cooper’s contention that creative criticality helps “produce lifelong learners who are capable of creating new ideas that have been evaluated through critical thinking.” I like this idea because the process of creative criticality is important in and of itself, but the fact that it could be lifelong, infinitely multiplies its effectiveness. I find it encouraging that not only does creative criticality give the learner the ability to both create new solutions but it helps them critically analyze solutions before implementation. Implementation, to me, is the key because largely speaking, solutions that are not implemented I don’t think are as valuable.
