TED Talks - Sir Ken Robinson on Education
Oct 18, 2006
Sir Ken Robinson, author of Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative, gives an entertaining and touching talk on children and their native creative abilities.
Uncommon Genius by Denise Shekerjian is also worth a look. In it she interviews 40 winners of the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship award - an award given to those who demonstrate leaps in creativity - often called the 'Genius Award'.
Enjoy!

I live in Argentina, really far from England and Canada. However, I agree a hundred per cent with Mister Robinson.
I am 32, I am getting married soon and one of my main concerns is how would I educate my children. Besides, I think this knew kind of perspective on education is a hope for people like me. I think creativity will save the world, because only those connected with their own thinking and desire are the ones capable of being creative.
Sorry for any language mistake.
