Creativity in Education

My sister Laurie shared this wonderful video with me. Take the time to watch this talk given by Sir Ken Robinson on the importance of supporting creativity in education. It's also quite entertaining! You'll be glad you watched it.

Thanks, Laurie. :)

No problem. Glad you liked it.

I ran into it on a friend's blog and almost didn't watch it, b/c it's 20 minutes. I was like... "20 minutes? On education? Are you kidding me?!" But since I was just working on some knitting projects (i.e., creativity!), I decided to watch it. Low and behold, 20 minutes felt like 2, and it was definitely worth it.

Hurray for art and creativity - virtues that I am SO thankful to our parents for having nurtured in us!
