If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original


This is a presentation from one of my favourite presenters and educators. He is dry, witty, intelligent and thought provoking.

What do you think about what he is saying?

He is a firm favourite on the TED circuit and isn't afraid to challenge convention. I like this about him.

Have a great weekend everybody.

    I really enjoyed this video.

    The bit when he speaks about Deborah teaching was a point well made.

    I might have to watch some more of this chaps videos.

      That was what I was hoping.

      Here’s one for starters: https://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity?language=en

    Another thought-provoking video.

    I absolutely agree with what he is saying. Even thinking back to my own education, I can relate.

    I'm forever telling my daughter to calm down, she's always fidgeting, dancing, shouting at the top of her lungs, driving me crazy, but maybe I should just embrace the madness, allow and encourage her to flourish

    Everyday is a school day.
