Intergrating 6 Sense into the Instructional Design

From"The Whole New Mind" Pink believes that we are moving into a conceptual age and this means the requirements for a desirable employee have changed, placing more value on whole brain thinkers. If this is the case, the next step is applying right brain-directed practices in the educational system. Pink identifies six senses that make up whole brain thinkers. They are design, story, meaning, empathy, play and symphony.

not just function, but also design.
not just argument, but also story.
not just focus, but also symphony.
not just logic, but also empathy.
not just seriousness, but also play.
