Show your creative side and creating side
Ken Robinson points out the difference between "imagitnation" and "creativity"
Creativity is having original ideas that have value.
imagination = having original ideas.
One way to measure the value of an idea is to see how many "likes" are on that idea. I admit that I have a strong imagination. Look at the number of YouTube videos that I've posted... that have under 100 views.
Here's an interesting piece: 400,000 views for a video that shows how to pronounce the alphabet in English and how to show the 12 tenses (past, present and future). Clearly my informal approach has appealed to 1/100th of 1 percent of the world's population or one out of 10,000 people.
A college admissions officer can see when a young person has a strong imagination. What can you do to create an original idea that has value (are you creative?)? One of the easiest ways to show your creativity is to connect your imagination with a service.
Where have you volunteered?
What did you do there? Ask if you can make a video. Many organizations will LOVE the added attention from a video posted on Facebook or Twitter or YouTube.
Making a list of 200 or 400 hours of places where you have volunteered gets my attention.
Showing me a video from one of your sessions of volunteering will impress me if:
-- the video is steady
-- the video is edited (or at least tell us where to look in the video)
-- there is a frame from the video pulled out so we can know where to look in the video. "Here is DeMonn Sands playing the sax in the concert."Yes, I'm impressed that one of my students plays an instrument. I'm even more impressed when I can hear the playing "Live" when I want to hear it... and I don't have to wait.
The next level of attention is to pull that video down from the Internet (use keepvid.com) and then edit that video.
Keepvid costs $29 for a lifetime use. You can get a free service from Computer Hope
After you try the free service from Computer Hope, you might want to look at downloading the Ummy video downloader, if you plan to edit many YouTube videos.I went to the video showing the Dillard High School band
