TED | Talks | Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity? (video) - 0 views

  • Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it.
  • Robinson points out the many ways our schools fail to recognize -- much less cultivate -- the talents of many brilliant people. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says.
    • Alan McCluskey
       
      Ken Robinson's book entitled "Out of our minds - learning to be creative" is well worth the read and may provide some answers to the Catalonian question of making school more creative and innovative.
  •  
    An amusing talk by Sir Ken Robinson about creativity in education and how education pushes creativity out of children.

Web 2.0: Helping Reinvent Education : January 2008 : THE Journal - 0 views

  • "Thinking is now distributed," he said, "across minds, tools and media, groups of people, and space and time." It is important, he shared, for people to be fluent in new technologies and literacies because more and more jobs are disappearing that require classical knowledge.
  • Web 2.0, Dede noted, is "centered around Web-based communities, where the central theme is to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing." It is an environment where knowledge is gained through bottom-up, individual methods, rather than top-down, traditional forms. "Web 2.0," he said, "is a major paradigm shift in the way people think."
    • Alan McCluskey
       
      Creativity and collaboration and sharing are not an automatic results of using web tools. They require the right practices and the right institutional conditions if they are to survive and flourish.
  • In a world where learners are being shaped by the things they do outside of the classroom, he said, how do we prepare students for careers that do not exist yet and that will be driven by these very same methods of learning?
  •  
    A talk by a specialist in teacher training about the impact of Web 2.0 on education. For those already interested in change in education thanks to ICT, this may bring little new. When are people going to go beyond statements about how things are radically changing to what we are going to do about it?

    • Alan McCluskey
       
      The use of clusters of schools to encourage innovation is an interesting idea.
