So I’m trying something a little different this year with my students.
In the past, whenever I wanted to show them something creative to students for the purposes of school work (and also just to generally expose them to good aesthetics, intelligent design, etc.), I’d e-mail them to ‘push’ the info to them.
That doesn’t work because students don’t always check their mail (or e-mail from me tends to be ignored… I don’t condone this but I don’t blame them either.)
Also, we have a school-based Content Management System (CMS), but students have to ‘pull’ the info from the site.
And knowing how human beings are like i.e. we follow the path of least resistance, it ain’t gonna happen… (in this case.)
So based on some feedback several of my ex-students gave me last year, I thought I’d set up musee.sg in my own personal capacity to ‘curate creativity’.
I think teaching creative thinking isn’t enough; people also have to be immersed in a creative environment or at least exposed to creative things on a regular basis to become creative too.
So students and anyone who’s interested in this can:
- Follow le Tumblr (it’s the first time I’m messing around with Tumblr BTW);
- Follow le Twitter; and/or
- Become a Facebook fan.
I thought I’d use social media because it just pushes everything to the students who are always on Tumblr/Twitter/Facebook anyway.
BTW I’m developing this organically so everything’s a bit spartan now in terms of design and stuff.
Also, organic means that it might die or it might evolve, but what the hell – let’s see where this goes.
Appreciate any support if you can spare some!
