For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution."

Having a background not only provides inspiration, but also it allows for an increased opportunity to turn that imagination into reality. However, imagination is truly important. Although I have often put the quest for knowledge ahead of expanding my imagination, preferring concrete ideas to abstract, I realize that those that society deems as the most knowledgeable are really the ones with the most imagination, those who were able to think of something new, some breakthrough, and put it into effect. Those who conform and simply follow the direction of others are also the ones who never accomplish anything significant and therefore fade away. Imagination is the key to longevity and creation.]]> 2018-11-02 11:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299726188 19o_brienn https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299726216 Of course I agree that imagination provoke creativity. Knowing things is not near as important as being able to create. It's literally defined in Bloom's Taxonomy; creation or evaluation (depending on the graphic) is the highest form of critical analysis and is the most important in the real world. However, you do need to have a foundation of knowledge. But in order to flourish and make advancements, make a mark on society, you need to imagine the most wild thing possible and follow through.]]> 2018-11-02 11:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299726216 19warddioriol https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299727285 Great quote Nichy!
While I like this quote and know that it speaks truth, the concept is couterintuitive for me. I'm a T not an F on the Myers Briggs scale- a definite Type A. I love to learn and seek knowledge, and imagination has always been harder for me. It is unquantifiable and shapeless. Imagination is important but I hate when it is pushed in school in the wrong way. Craft projects are dumb and are not a true measure of imagination.]]> 2018-11-02 11:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299727285 19ward_diorior https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299727444 We love Einstein. I do think imagination is more important than knowledge. However, I think to be very creative, peak or max, you need to have some fundamental points of knowledge. Uneducated imagination will likely fail, but if you already have a basic knowledge of the world, imagination is limitless. ]]> 2018-11-02 11:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299727444 alr2 https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299727688 Nice quote. Thanks for sharing, Nick. I too think this quote has much to offer in terms of learning and education. So many children are full of curiosity and interest for the world around them. As I have watched my own children grow up, I have unfortunately seen their imaginations dwindle. They are now busy learning information instead of exploring what truly interests them. In an ideal world both imagination and knowledge would be equally fostered in our education system. ]]> 2018-11-02 11:48:25 UTC https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299727688 19christmano https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299727761 I really like this quote. I do agree and think that imagination is more important the knowledge. When I think of the most influential theories, inventions or even book, they usually involve some sort of innovation. I think that knowledge is the basis of all creativity and new ideas. However, imagination is what takes it to the next level.  ]]> 2018-11-02 11:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299727761 19gilberte https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299727886 I love this quote! I think that as we have grown up, creativity is something that has not been stressed as much as it should have been. When you're younger, there's nothing wrong with being whimsical and interesting and finding genuinely fun ways to learn and evolve as a person. Once we get to a certain age though, we are no longer asked to be creative. We are asked to be analytical and more mature about our schoolwork. That's great and all, and both of those are important parts of life, but I wish that creativity was stressed as well. Without creativity everyone is the same, and life becomes boring. As a teacher, don't you think it would be so boring to grade the same kind of papers, presentations, and projects over and over again? If we learn to think more creatively, the world would be a lot more colourful.

It is perfectly ideal, bliss, and optimistically naive to suggest that people forsake knowledge in search of expanding their imagination--Imagination can only stimulate progress and give birth to evolution if it is rooted in or applied to some fundamental piece of knowledge. Imagination itself cannot bring change unless it is shared, developed, made realistic, and applied by way of knowledge-based mediums. I'm not saying imagination is lesser than knowledge, but everyone should realize that the two must accompany one another--in tandem rather than apart. Progress demands both. ]]> 2018-11-02 11:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/19o_brienn/82oq95wyvkm4/wish/299728108
