"Do Schools Kill Creativity"

I watched the talk by Sir Ken Robinson that is posted on the web site TED. I watched this several months ago and again just recently. There are several things I got from the video.

1) His definition of creativity is original ideas that have value. He follows that most creativity stems from the interaction of different disciplines. The High School SPACES project is an example of this. We should be doing more!

2) Women are better at multi-tasking because of their different brain structure than males.

3) The school environment is not for everyone. For example, a student who loves to dance should be at a fine arts school instead of an academic school.

TED has lots of talks on a variety of topics.

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

A huge thank you to JMac for getting me going with this! I am excited to see so many teachers using these tools. I can see a great benefit for our students!
