Sir Ken Robinson: The Importance of Creativity

I agree with Sir Ken Robinson 100% I can remember being in school and just wanting someone to reach the side of me that did not want to sit in a desk all day but go outside and have class. We take children who are full of energy and do nothing to harvest the energy for good but tell them that they are bad because they will not sit for over 6 hours in a day. If we do not learn as teachers ways to think outside of the box and teach expression whether than rules, we teach our children to be boring adults so the suppress all that cries out in them to live.
I learn better when I am able to express the ideas and thoughts that fill my head. Whether right or wrong, I at least like the idea of trying and seeing what new fabulous way I can discover to do something. We should look closer and see what talents a child has and let them create from within, instead of medicating everyone who does not follow a certain grid for behavioral development. This short film has made a tremendous effect on my life. To know that there is someone who feels that it is ok to teach children the freedom of education while allowing the thoughts and feeling of the child to be groomed and developed to help them learn and grow is an awesome concept.

New regulations require that all info be submitted to a review board before it can be submitted onto the Wikip edia database. I think this will cut down on a lot of the unreliable information that was so readily available and keep the site from losing any more credibility. Wikipedia

I do like to think that somewhere down the road of life our paths will meet again and we will remember the time we had on Thursdays in EDM310. I wish you all happy futures and prosperous lives.

Teachers teaching Teachers

I really enjoyed this podcast. The dialect between the the speakers flowed, the information was clear and useful. What better way for a teacher to enhance their learning skills than from learning from each other and receiving feedback in the classroom. It is easier to relate to someone who knows what you are going through on a daily basis and can encourage you and guide you to being a better teacher. We are all different and have vital information to share to help one another. Teachers give to their students everyday and sometimes it is feels good to get back what you put in. Quality of voice sound could have been better
