NEW MIND A Whole New Mind opened up our minds to realize how important it is for our students to play, create, problem solve in other words utilize more of the creative right side of the brain. In order to compete with work that is going overseas and computers. Pink discusses the importance of working on the six aptitudes of being proficient in right brained thinking.
