Emergent behavior is a phenomenon within the natural world. The flocking of birds, schooling of fish and burrowing of termites are some examples of emergent behavior.
The definition is: the way a complex system and/or pattern aries out of relatively simple interactions. (Wikipedia)
Using this idea within the classroom I feel I could teach students about individuality in that each of them would create something according to the same lesson, the same basic concepts and yet each student would create something unique. Students would learn about how different people interpret things in different ways. Or maybe they interpreted the project vary similar to one of their other classmates. I would be very interested to see how the project turns out.
