Well school has started here in Japan. As students and teachers settle into their classes, schedules and lessons, it’s important to remember to keep the ball rolling in new ways. Why teach the same repetitive lessons the same way? I have been converted. I have begun to create videos to introduce and reinforce lessons and  posted them onto our school’s website as well as YouTube and TeacherTube for students to access as a resource. Within five days, I had a teacher from Hawaii contact me commenting that it was a great resource for her students. She was even kind enough to give me a five star rating and introduced it to a few forums she belongs to! Five days later and it already has over 470 hits. How is that as a motivating factor?

So, try new things while you are still feeling fresh. Here is a short video as well by Daniel Pink, author of A Whole New Mind giving some advice on exercising creativity at the work place.
