creativity is crucial

"Schools kill creativity"

"Creativity is as important in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status"

"If you are not prepared to be wrong you will never come up with anything original"

"We are educating people out of their creative capacities"

                                                                                             Sir Ken Robinson

Watch and listen to creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson who challenges the way we are educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence.

His talk could also double as a stand up comedy act, it is a highly recommended must watch video.

There are many more videos of talk worth watching on TED, the site for videos of talks with "ideas worth spreading."

Have a look at this movie "The Hero 2, a movie about someone you know, or you". for top notch originality and creativity.

This wonderfully original, innovative and creative film is the second viral film that was used by the Swedish   broadcasting company Radiotjanst to bring peoples attention to broadcast fees and thank them for paying it. The ad reminds people what is good about nationalised tv and the "hero" can be anyone, just upload their photo.  No doubt you can find a use for it in your classroom.  Make your own film here.

Thank crunchie its Friday! Have a great week!
