Learning and Leading

The four dimensions that J.P. Guilford uses to describe creativity are fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. I seem to struggle with originality the most when it comes to creativity. Making ideas unexpected or creating products that are unusual or even unheard of are the most difficult because I struggle to think outside the box. I am a person who is fond of elaborating on a new idea and finding credible, reliable sources to support my elaborations. The web tool I believe that easily supports at least two of these dimensions if not all is Google Docs. Google Docs is extensive; allowing multiple users to write relevant information that can be short and sweet, or descriptive and lengthy. This description of Google docs supports the dimension elaboration. Google Docs also supports originality because once the document is created, multiple users can do anything they'd live to spice up the document such as pasting in funny or relevant pictures. Each user is in control once they obtain the link, therefore they can make it appear however they desire. From the web tools chart in the readings, the web tool twitter can also be very useful in supporting these creativity dimensions. Twitter allows users, once an account is created, to post essentially anything they would like. From what you are doing currently, or how you are feeling about a particular subject. It becomes your own online vocal opinion; you just control what to say from a few taps of the keyboard.
