Do Schools Kill Creativity


I watched a clip online about creativity. This was a presentation given by Ken Robinson. It was really interesting! This clip talked about how kids are the most creative because they are not afraid to take risks and make mistakes. He also talked about how it is difficult for teachers to educate students for the future when we have no idea what the future might hold.

Lost Generation

This clip was AWESOME!! When this was read the first time I focused on the family aspect of it. I think this is true... today is a "quick fix society" and families don't stay together like they should. This makes me angry. I guess I am from a family where divorce is not thought highly of and doesn't happen. I was taught to be with someone when you love them and are ready to not place yourself first. I don't believe in divorce.

The second time this was read, I was amazed! I didn't see that coming! This goes to show that things cam appear differently if you make them.

First Night of Videos


Monday Night was the first night of videos. They were pretty interesting. The thing I found most interesting was that people had so many different ideas. I never even thought of doing a slide show like the first group had. I think because there were no guidelines, peoples' creativity really shown through! It was cool to see the different ideas so far and am excited for next monday to see even more.
