I always look forward to the NY Times Magazine annual Year of Ideas issue. This year they placed little icons next to each entry to designate the domain of the idea: arts, culture, technology, etc.
Not surprisingly, almost all of them feature a couple of icons; cross discipline ideas, either by inception or application.
When we get our students into small groups for problem-solving, and we frame the discussion to invite the interplay of what they're learning in "other classes," we prepare them for the world of collaboration: which is our future.
Some of my favorite Ideas from 2009:
The Rainfall Theory of Development
Massively Collaborative Mathematics
The Google Algorithm as Extinction Model
Literary Alzheimer's
