I’ve been using this clip of Sir Ken Robinson from the TED Annual Conference for years, and there’s no good reason why I haven’t posted it here – so tonight I’m changing that omission! This clip has been a great idea-sparker for teachers, graduate students, and non-educators alike.

Robinson is a masterful presenter, and his content resonates with my thinking about the whole high-stakes testing push here in the US. External pressures shape our course, but it’s great to be reminded of the higher calling we have as a moral imperative. At about twenty minutes it’s not a quick view, but I gauarntee you will watch it more than once – and probably get others to join you… The video is available online -  Do Schools Kill Creativity?
