QUOTE:
"Success is based not only on what you know or how much you know, but on your ability to think and act creatively." (Resnick, 2007-08)


RESPONSE:
I selected this quote because I thought that what it said about success is very true. Too many people think that success is only based on smarts, but to truly be successful there needs to be a broader basis than just that.  Being able to act and think creatively is important because creativity is what can make someone unique, and that is very important. A lot of people pride themselves on how much they know, but if they don’t know how to apply that they aren't truly going to be successful. Educators need to show students that success is not based on only knowledge and the resources from the article are good examples of that.

I chose this wordle because it is a good representation of success and creativity. I especially liked that "success" and "creative" were the key components of the wordle.
