Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity | Video on TED.com

This is another excellent short video on the importance of creativity in education. Ken reminds us that our current school system was built to supply workers for the industrial revolution, but kills creativity by valuing other areas of learning, like math or science as more valuable than the creative arts. I like his definition of creativity: "the process of having original ideas that have value." Ken is hilarious and highly intelligent, and this video is well worth your time: Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity | Video on TED.com
