I am a big fan of encouraging creative and critical thinking skills. I have also used the SCAMPER technique and was impressed with what students were able to do.

Love it. Good ideas! Of course my first thought was "there isn't enough time to accept more than the first answer." Now it is my turn to be creative and come up with a solution only I could think of. I'll get back to you on that one. My recent post Branches of Power

Thanks for the SCAMPER technique! I will definitely be trying to implement it this coming year!

I’ve used SCAMPER (http://www.brainstorming.co.uk/tutorials/scampertutorial.html) to give students specific “tools” to promote creativity.

I also have been reading the work of Edward DeBono (http://www.edwdebono.com/), who writes a lot about “lateral thinking” and creates techniques to promote creativity.
