Janine Cate at Why Homeschool found the video I’ve embedded below. The post on her blog doesn’t have the video so I’ve embedded it here.

FROM GOOGLE VIDEO
Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than … all » undermining it. With ample anecdotes and witty asides, Robinson points out the many ways our schools fail to recognize — much less cultivate — the talents of many brilliant people. “We are educating people out of their creativity,” Robinson says. The universality of his message is evidenced by its rampant popularity online. A typical review: “If you have not yet seen Sir Ken Robinson’s TED talk, please stop whatever you’re doing and watch it now.”

I loved this video. Sir Ken Robinson is a brilliant speaker. He does what we’d all like to be able to do… take a topic we are interested in and that we feel passionate about and that is semi-controversial… and make our talk funny and interesting and full of common sense. He left his listeners all wanting to hear more… and do more.
