First TED talk by Sir Ken Robinson - Do schools kill creativity?

February, 2006.
Talk notes:
  • creativity should be awarded as is literacy
  • we should not be afraid of being wrong - that is key to creativity. Plan for being wrong. We get educated out of creativity.
  • Focuses on the arts - and particularly the importance of dance.
  • Professors are the goal of our education. They live in their heads.
  • Can't afford to go on thinking that being a professor should be the goal. Too many people are good at things that aren't recognized.
    Now BA's mean nothing.
  • Intelligence has departments.
  • Creativity - having original ideas that have value. Comes from interaction of different perspectives.
  • Educate the whole being. See our creative capacities for the richness they are, and our children for the hope they are.
