People, as the superior beings the are, are supposed to build upon the collective knowledge of everyone that ever lived and come up with innovative ideas to make the world a better place. But what is innovation anyway? Can it be learned? Better yet, can it be taught?
I believe it can. It may not be easy, neither for the teacher nor for the student, but I doubt that it’s impossible. All innovative ideas have sprung from a human brain. And what else is there in the heads of students and teachers alike? Of course, just having a brain does not lead directly to innovative ideas, but it’s definitely a starting point.
Considering that innovative thinking is and will continue to be a very sought-after skill in the job market, what can teachers do to equip their students — the future employees, freelancers, consultants and entrepreneurs — with it?
