Kyle Jordan- Play-Doh and Creativity

Having attended multiple colleges in my life, I can honestly say that this was the first college level class that I was instructed to play with Play-Doh. The fact of this is that many people get to college, and are too focused on growing up and making a grade that in actuality, doesn't mean anything in the real world. The exercise with Play-Doh was meant to get us back to the time when learning was fun, and focusing on creation, not wondering if we could break down a problem into analytical fact and solving it. This relates to the article we read in that many people today have lost the spark that pushed us into wanting to learn and create in the first place. It is proven that the creativity quotient has been on the decline, and maybe more people should start playing with Play-Doh, or any other type of creating something, and the trend will start to reverse itself.
