Andrea Duran on 01 Feb 12Rieland, Randy. "A Cheat Sheet to Help Schools Foster Creativity." Web log post. Innovations. Smithsonian, 22 Aug. 2011. Web. 16 Jan. 2012. Randy Rieland discusses in the article, " A Cheat to Help Schools Foster Creativity", how schools are still following the model education for the industrial economy, and not for the modernize economy today. Rieland argues that more corporate companies want people who are more creative. As the economy today is striving on the new innovations in technology, they need more visionary people to produce even better innovations in the future. Since there is a lot of budget cuts in schools, Rieland main purpose is to get teachers and other educators to motivate students into being original and passionate about learning again. The tone of the article is informal tone as the author puts his opinion towards the end of the article. Rieland is a reliable source because he is a writer for an online magazine. The article has a lot of ethos and it connects to societies issue with education. Compared to the other articles, it brings up the issue of the model of the educational system; that since America was industrializing up to the 1970s, America set their educational system of what jobs were needed then. Now that America is no longer in the industrializing, we should change the educational system to fit what is needed now. This source is useful because it helps understand the educational system, which will help in my research.
