Teaching TRIZ: Free book, exercises, videos
The EU Lifelong Learning Program-sponsored TETRIS project has just announced the availability of the full set of materials (book, handbook, exercises) for download and videos available for viewing at www.tetris-project.org
It is available in 5 languages, and I can only speak for the English one, which is very good. You'll need to test it with a sample of the students that you plan to use it with. The videos are cute to an adult, but I'm afraid they might be boring or silly to the video-centric generations. BUT even if you are just teaching yourself, it is worth the time to register (just a few minutes) and download the 12 items. This is a fresh view of TRIZ, and I've enjoyed reading it. Many thanks to Robert Adunka and Gaetano Cascini and their colleagues in Europe for this huge work.

TRIZ Video lessons
Rick Blauw has done a great job with 3-4 minute humorous TRIZ lessons. He has posted them on Youtube to make them more accessible, and also on Facebook for those who prefer that format. Please send him comments! Start with any one--they are all different styles.

Also, this was not intended as a TRIZ video, but it is a great example of resolution of a contradiction (suitable for Easter Week classes...)
