Learn to Let Go: How Success Killed Duke Nukem | Magazine

www.wired.com/...3 - Preview

Broussard was paralyzed by the massive success of Duke Nukem 3D. “When Duke came out, they were kings of the world for a minute,” Wilson says. “And how often does that happen? How often does someone have the best thing in their field, absolutely? They basically got frozen in that moment.”
If the game starts getting delayed, it’s the publisher that cracks the whip.

But in videogames, the problem is particularly acute, because the longer you delay, the more genuinely antiquated your product begins to look — and the more likely it is that you’ll need to rip things down and start again.

- New theoretical models: The synergy of research in creativity and computing can lead to new computational and/or cognitive models of creativity as ways of searching for problems and solutions. The formal models developed in this kind of project can be the basis for new computing devices and environments, new approaches to education, and new ways of doing research.
- New modes of research: A focus on understanding the role of creative processes or creative professionals in research in computer science and information systems can lead to new modes of research. This understanding can be developed empirically through doing, observing, and studying innovative modes of research.
- Innovative educational approaches: Creativity can be a focus for learning environments, such as studio learning, problem-based learning, and informal learning environments, that reward creative thinking. The development and evaluation of learning that uses innovative computational environments to encourage creativity can lead to new ways of teaching knowledge and skills-based subjects.
- Creativity enhancing tools: Innovation in information technology tools and infrastructure can support and enhance creativity in problem finding as well as problem solving. The design and evaluation of creativity enhancing tools can lead to improved methods for understanding the current and potential role of IT in the creative process.

- I run a student-centered classroom
- Do not ever use that phrase, unless you plan to follow it up with what kinds of things you have students do, what specific teaching techniques you've found successful. Otherwise it sounds like you're just saying what you think I want to hear
- I'd rather read statements from candidates who talk about their mistakes and go on from there to describe how they learned from them to become better teachers
- It's important to present a picture of yourself in a classroom with students

- One of the most important qualities an inexperienced teacher can display is a willingness to learn, pay attention, and change.
- As a teacher, you must know yourself and be able to perform, and learn from, honest assessment.
- Reflect on the life experiences you have had that affect how you think about teaching.
- Draw on your experiences as a student, a scholar, and a human being.
- I used to assume that any student who did not get an "A" on an exam wasn't trying, until it occurred to me that no matter how hard I try in dance classes, I rarely excel. Becoming less critical of my students--while still maintaining high standards--has made me a better teacher.
- write about how you hope to provide your students with a similar opportunity.
- Avoid promising too much.
- Keep it short. I've said this already, but it's worth repeating. One or two double-spaced pages are good for most statements. If you've got less to say, say less.
