Think Like a Genius version 2.0 software

As a middle school teacher, I have struggled over the years with how to best prepare my students for jobs that dont even exist yet. Learning information is not enough. It is knowing what to do with new information that matters. I discovered Think Like a Genius ten years ago. My students have been making hands-on material models to show their unique way of connecting new information with their own interests. Other students are amazed at the differences between each model, yet they all cover the same content. This personal approach excites and motivates kids with a range of abilities, from concrete to abstract. I am thrilled that a three dimensional software is now available!!! These endless, creative avenues to show understanding inspire me, as well as, students.

This is the best software that I have ever seen to teach anybody from age 5 to whatever, creativity. If you want to improve your creative ability in any area, this is the software to open up your mind to alternatives.

This software is a wonderful new tool that can help learners of all ages to access, strengthen and build on (and with!) their own innate creative capacities. Think Like a Genius 2.0 is easy-to-use, and the fluid way it integrates abstract visual elements taps into a universal symbolic language -- the global language of creativity. The result is a richly evocative digital environment that stimulates new ways to see the world, fosters individual imaginative expression, and opens up new pathways to collaboration and the socialization of ideas.

Indeed this software has amazing applications for opening up the world of a childs mind to infinite creativity, expression and ultimately a parents ability to understand them on a deeper level. All good. But what I discovered in teaching it to my son (actually he ended up showing me a thing or two) was that it had applications for my marriage as well. I guess this shouldnt be such a surprise as its obvious that anyone can use it (it is happily very user friendly) but still I asked my husband to model his vision about a particularly challenging issue we were facing and I did the same and sure enough, by walking one another through the models we were able to fully see and ultimately understand one anothers viewpoints. It was like creative therapy (only much less expensive!) I would recommend this product to anyone wishing to work through relationship issues of any shape or size.

Think Like a Genius is an amazing cross between a video game and a tool for emotional growth and expression. The kids see it and use it like a game, all the while refining, defining, and opening their minds! Just playing with the models helped my kids express themselves better, more clearly...they now dont struggle with understanding their feelings - this game showed them how to see a situation from multiple dimensions, which allowed them to find solutions!! My kids are now more sociable and engaging, and have learned how to understand others feelings as well. Making them a better friend, and to having more friends!

My 10 year old daughter uses TLG software to create new worlds and express ideas. When she is using it, I feel like it is time well-spent. She has aha moments and never fails to be excited by what comes out.I am going to use it as a way to stay connected with her -- how much fun!

Though not quite a luddite Im not extremely comfortable with some of the newer software and how to get around. The companion website and video tutorials are great. It took me about 15 minutes to master the programs interface and become able to produce worlds and models that are as detailed as I can imagine.

The TLG software is a ground-breaking program that fosters the genius in children without them suspecting they are actually learning something. As they progress in this fun, challenging and interactive game, they improve their communication, problem-solving and analytical skills. My 12-year old son has become vastly more communicative and engaging, and able to articulate his thoughts and feelings much more clearly since he began using TLG. I would highly recommend this software to anyone who seeks a developmental tool for their child that has the power and boundless potential to compete with todays video game culture.

How come all 15 reviews are written within a four month period last year and then nothing? How come 13 of those are from people with no other reviews on Amazon and who all sound alike, like marketing professionals?

This software not only provides an excellent new form of presentation, but also a great outlet for creativity to flow. Think Like a Genius allows you to get those idea out that you wouldnt normally be able to articulate or express with traditional pencil and paper. With its easy to use interface, you build anything you want from more mundane representations to purely abstract thoughts and ideas. I used Think Like a Genius for a class presentation and got extra credit for being so original. I also use Think like a Genius for my random bouts of creativity. Its perfect for those times when you have a great idea and need to get it out fast and in a way that everyone else can understand.
