St. Petersburg College Critical Thinking Gateway
Three settings are conducive for critical thinking games: classroom, online, and outdoors (e.g., leadership development activities): Simulations provide realistic or semi-realistic opportunities for students to practice skills and solve problems in safe environments. They differ from structured experiential activities by their multi-part and branching nature. A typical simulation will provide an opening scenario that requires students to engage in a planning activity. In a second round, the student or group must use the skills or theories from the course to make a decision regarding a significant problem. Then, depending on the individual’s or group’s decision, the simulation will provide results from that decision that will drive subsequent decisions.

What Is Intelligence? Just a Byproduct of Cooperation.
What's the Latest Development? By developing computer simulations of neural networks that evolved over 50,000 generations, scientists at Trinity University have concluded that intelligence is an evolutionary byproduct of social teamwork. Each neural network, or 'brain', took part in two social dilemmas in which "two players must choose between cooperation and defection during repeated rounds. Upon completion of either game, each 'brain' produced 'offspring' with other 'brains' that made more advantageous choices during the games. ...
Design Thinking Is A Failed Experiment. So What's Next?
The decade of Design Thinking is ending and I, for one, am moving on to another conceptual framework: Creative Intelligence, or CQ. I am writing a book about Creative Intelligence, due out from HarperCollins in fall 2012, and I hope to have a conversation with the Fast Company audience on this blog about how we should teach, measure, and use CQ. Why am I, who at Business Week was one of Design Thinking's major advocates, moving on to a new conceptual framework?

Test Your Creativity: 5 Classic Creative Challenges
Fascinated by how brains and creativity work, we frequently share new research on the 99U twitter feed, showing how everything from drinking alcohol, to taking vacations, to moving your eyes from side to side can make you more creative. What’s particularly interesting, however, is that most of these studies rely on just a small group of core creativity tests – and you don’t need any special lab equipment to take them. Below, we’ve collected five of the most commonly used creativity challenges for your self-testing pleasure. While creativity “testing” is far from an exact science, trying your mettle at these challenges could yield insight into when, where, and how you’re most creative. Or maybe it’ll just be fun.
Frog Design: 3 Things Wile E. Coyote Teaches Us About Creative Intelligence
Bruce Nussbaum was right to close the book on Design Thinking. It is time to move on. Business never really got the message. What businesses continue to care about is innovation.

‘Critical’ Information Literacy
The capacity for local conditions and issues to influence the way information literacy is defined and taught, is a concept that has gained significant momentum over the last decade among librarians and educators around the world. This growing realisation has resulted in an increasing body of research produced at the intersection of critical pedagogy and information literacy. From this research, the concept of ‘Critical Information Literacy’ has emerged. Jacobs and Berg (2011) explain: “In its focus on engaging with questions about information, critical information literacy is an attempt to help students see that information questions are deeply embedded within cultural, social, political, and economic contexts”.
