I think Mobley's views on becoming creative people instead of learning to be creative rings true for young students. If kids see learning as a game and a riddle they can find some real fun in coming up with answers. I've watched students over the years compete in silly, friendly competitions to see who could see the most differences in a set of words. It really made them stretch their minds to see things in a different way. They needed me as their teacher to facilitate this possibility of playing with words in this way. They weren't learning how to be creative they were being creative.
Mobley's fourth insight about becoming creative by hanging out with creative people is my college career in a nutshell. The influence of peers can be powerful. As with my example of students playing with words if the kids in your table group don't play the word association game then you may not play it either. Birds of a feather is why teachers use social engineering when making seating charts and putting together various groups in a classroom. Teachers hope that the creativity of one kid will rub off on another.
The most important insight of Mobley's was that students need to be allowed to be wrong. A poem that all my students memorize early in the school year is called, "Mistakes Can Be Good". Through this poem we learn that everyone makes mistakes and that it is okay, it's how we learn. Teachers need to be allowed to be wrong too.
