Brainstorming
• Berkun’s Laws:
– Nothing matters if the room is filled with morons
or strangers (or both).
– Brainstorming is designed for idea volume, not
depth or quality.
– The person leading an idea generation session
matters.
– Debate during or after brainstorming…but debate!

Build a classroom that encourages creativity and
retention of information…
“…a transformational teacher treats [a class]
like a carefully crafted persuasive essay -with a clear purpose, a unique sense of style,
a memorable beginning and end, a logical
sequence, important content, nimble
transitions, and contagious passion. (Finley,
T., 2014).”
YouTube Video: Have You Been Paying Attention?
Edu-Blogger:
• “…Has anyone seen this garbage? Students don’t need
to remix anything! Educators must teach them to be
original, have original thought, and do original work!
Imagine if society worked this way.
• We’d still be hoping someone would invent the rolling
stone so as to create a wheel. Imagine a world where
using other people’s work to create your own was ok.
• We’d never have gotten past the toaster to see the
benefits of the microwave. We’d never have gotten
past swing music to experience amazing original works
like Elton John’s “The Lion King” or other seminal
works…”
Remix, Sample or Steal?
• 1996 - Can You Feel The love Tonight?
• Save tonight, fight the break of dawn, come
tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be gone…
• You’re beautiful! You’re beautiful!
• If I could, then I would, I’ll go wherever you
will go, way up high, or down low, I’ll go
wherever you will go…
• Never mind, I’ll find someone like you – I wish
nothing but the best for you too…
Remix, Sample or Steal?
1989 - Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray,
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio, Joe
McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television, North
Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe…
1989 - Wherever you go – whatever you do, I will be right
here waiting for you…
1987 - I think we’re alone now, there doesn’t seem to be
anyone around…
1984 - We’re not gonna take it, no we ain’t gonna take it –
we’re not gonna take it anymore…
Remix, Sample or Steal?
See the stone set in her eyes, see the thorn twist in
her side, and I’m waiting for you, with or without
you
Remix, Sample or Steal?
1984 - Take on me (YOU: take on me!), Take me up
(YOU: take on me!), I’ll be gone
?????
1981 - Just a small town girl – living in a lonely world
– she took the midnight train going anywhere
Remix, Sample or Steal?
1976 - On your mark, get set, and go now – gotta
dream and we just know now
1970 - When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother
Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let
it be
1961 - When the night has come, and the land is
dark, and the moon is the only light we’ll see
1690?!?!?!

“As I was writing Brain Rules, it hit me [that] if
you wanted to design a learning environment
that was directly opposed to what the brain is
naturally good at doing, you would design
something like a classroom.”
