We are especially familiar with the psychological flow triggers. In this slide, Steven Kohler who is a New York Times bestselling author, an award-winning journalist, and the cofounder and director of research for the Flow Genome Project varies flow triggers in four categories; psychological, environmental, social and creative. Kohler mentions flow triggers in more details in his book called The Rise of Superman. I watched trailers of his book beside watching this slide. I think it is a good point to relate creativity and flow in this way. Also, social and environmental aspects are essential because not in every flow moment, we're alone. So, I think this slide (and the book if you can buy) would be informative for you.

Shared video is related to flow in education. It gives information about happiness, creativity, divergent thinking, and key elements of the flow. There are some statistical data for creativity, graphic of flow and examples from different fields. Enjoy :)

This video is about fire dancing and the people who are telling their intrinsic motivation for it. I found it quiet interesting because it includes most elements of flow theory. First of all, they have clear goals in every step. Also, they enjoy what they are doing and they get constant feedback. They have awareness and to be succesful they should not be distracted. The sense of time becomes distorted for them. I remember watching a fire dancing show in Barcelona and I was really surprised seeing people playing with fire so creatively. They were so immersed that they did not care anything happening around them. Now, it becomes more meaningful for me :) they were in a state of flow.

This box can be informative and fun AR environment for primary or elementary school students to form topographies and simulate real time water flow in geology and science lessons.

I hated geography lesson when I was in high school and while I see those kinds of application, I wish studying at high school now with those technological tools :) I think it can be really beneficial and also gain creativity of students.

I thought besides making sand castles on the beach, primary or elementary students can play sand to learn topographies and water flow at the same time. And yeah why not, for high school students it can also be fun and beneficial for improving their creativity :)
