Do Schools Kill Creativity?

I can't believe I haven't posted this talk before. I first watched Do Schools Kill Creativity several years ago so I have no excuse other than everyone was blogging about it by then.

In this famous worldwide talk, Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case in this talk for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity. 



Watch the video and answer the following questions on twitter. Use this hashtag: #KenRobinsonTalk

- Who is Sir Ken Robinson? Where was he born? Why is he famous?
- What is TED Talks? What does TED stand for? What is its slogan?
- When was this talk given?

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a children's picture book designed, illustrated and written by Eric Carle, first published by the World Publishing Company in 1969. 

The Very Hungry Caterpillar uses distinctive collage illustrations, 'eaten' holes in the pages and simple text with educational themes – counting, the days of the week, types of food, and a butterfly's life stages. 

The book has been translated into at least 40 languages and it has been used by preschool teachers, librarians, and parents, as a teaching aid, with activities developed which use the book.

 

In 2009, IEric Carle was invited to create a doodle for the Google homepage. It was online on March 20th that year, the day selected to mark the 40th anniversary of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The infograph starts off with the origins of storytelling, all the way through to modern times, concluding with a ‘in the future’ section discussing how this evolution will continue. See more at http://ukedchat.com/2014/05/14/resource-evolution-of-storytelling/
