Creativity and Education

OK, so this video from TED is not exactly new, but it does tell us something about creativity in education. If you haven't been to the TED site, you must go. It is full of inspiring and thought-provoking videos that challenge the mainstream ideas of many of today's toughest challenges. Sir Ken, does just that.
In this video he says that we are "educating kids out of creativity". Students today want to be engaged in activities that teach. I think every educator needs to listen to Sir Ken and then think of one way they can change their practice this year.
Our students need us to.
