Notes from Sir Ken Robinson's video...

At an educational conference in Monterey, CA in 2006, He spoke of:
--> Human creativity
--> We have no idea what the future holds for education
--> Education goes deep with people
--> The future of education is unpredictable, yet we're supposed to prepare kids for the future.
--> Creativity is as important to education as literacy is.
--> Kids are more creative because they're not afraid to be wrong
--> We get educated out of our own creativity.
--> The heirarchy of education:
         --> Math & Languages
                 --> Humanities
                        --> The arts
--> The most useful subjects for the working world are at the top of the educational heirarchy.
--> Intelligence is diverse, dynamic & distinct
--> Jillian Lynn - one of the world's greatest choreographers - today would be given medication for ADHD and told to settle down.
--> We need to learn to reestablish our greatest gift: the human imagination.
