What is your opinion on assessing creativity? Is it your experience that assessment can actually foster creativity?

Guiding questions help students think about their own learning and promote positive and constructive feedback, strongly influencing students' opinions of their own creativity (Beghetto, 2006). For example: What path did you take to come up with this idea? What alternatives did you consider earlier on?
What are some of the guiding questions you use with students?

Adobe Education Leader, Judy Derkin, guided me recently to Adobe Form Central. She uses it to collect student photography work, quizzes, and written work. This product initially looks like it is made for business and office work; however, this is a true Gem for the educator. I recently set up my own account and I can now collect a wide range of digital files, create surveys, tests, and writing prompts quickly and efficiently. If your school is using tablets or laptops, get yourself an account ... you won't regret it. Does anyone else use Adobe Form Central in their classroom? I've been using it for a week and wish I had found it sooner.
I really appreciate using Adobe Acrobat in my place of business. How many others use it in their daily work?

Do teachers in your school make use of Adobe Acrobat in assessing student work? I've found very few knew they even had Adobe Acrobat Pro on their computers, or confuse it with Adobe Reader. There are some pretty great features wrapped into Acrobat Pro...like the ability to embed or stream video, create electronic forms, comment on video, collect feedback, etc. Just wondering how others get the word out...or why they aren't getting the word out? Seems like a no-brainer...
Recently I got to sit with a company that does animation and digital effects for the film industry. What was interesting was that the company stresses so many "soft" skills over the ability to use software products.
Topics such as planning, collaboration, story boarding, responding to critiques, and completing projects on time and to standards can be difficult to assess, but are critical to future success.
So, how do you assess these skills?
The students have often no knowledge of the higher education, how can we prepare them better for the choices of education
Students have no good understanding how a project runs in the workflow.
They don't read the assesment and go to work.
