Post It

This week in class we talked about how to enhance creativity in the groups we are involved in. In the book and in the class we discussed the technique of the affinity technique. This technique is all about sorting through the ideas that a group may generate. I especially like the idea of using Post It notes to help with the sorting process. The idea is to have members write their ideas on a Post It note and then to put the notes up on a wall or board. Then the rest of the group will go through all of the notes and organize them into to categories or into groups of most importance. This technique seems very functional, but also seems like a little fun. The fun is that you get the chance to express your ideas and also to see the ideas of all group members. This process will allow everyone in the group to have some sort of input. Many times in groups that I have been in everyone is full of ideas, but it is difficult to organize and choose an idea. Using the Post It notes would be a huge advantage and would help the group work through ideas. I like this technique and will more than likely use it in the future.

This is the week for our group to complete our service learning project. I want to say thanks to Andrew for doing a great job on creating the flyer design that we are using.

Thanks,
