Are schools killing our imagination

Friday, September 5th, 2008

If you have not already done so, take a look at the latest video by Thomas Friedman found on iTunes.  Go to the iTunes store do a search for MIT, it will be the first video in the list.  In his speech he talks a lot about how imagination and creative thinking will be the keys to our economic survival in the 21st century.  Sir Ken Robinson in this video entitled  “Do schools kill creativity?”  makes the case that our school are not helping but hurting the educational process of the 21st Century Student.
