    dictionary.com's definition of brainstorming:

    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/brainstormi...

    my definition of brainstorming:

    putting heads together to come up with ideas/methods/ways that aid in solving problems/improvements/future goals.

    what it means to me--working the lazy brains :) hardwork, friction when minds get together because people have different views, learning to work together (compromise), additional knowledge, build a strong bond, work towards one's goals, etc.

    synonyms of brainstorming from dictionary.com:

    you can read up on brainstorming by researching in the internet or borrowing books from the library.

    activities include forming a "debate/brainstorming group," setting an achievable goal, doing puzzles, tests that test your analyzing skills, games to do with analysis--chess, detective games, tycoon games, etc... btw, being able to express yourself is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. in brainstorming, people share their ideas from their own viewpoint, so don't be afraid to say anything and everything that comes to your head--make sure it makes sense and you see how it can be done :)

    words that come to mind when i think of brainstorming:

    brains, minds, thinking, analysis, debate, bond, knowledge, goals, aims, dreams, persistence, perseverance, determination, extrovert, character (say what you feel, but know when to draw the line), etc.
