A TED talk about education and how we are teaching kids to grow out of creativity in school. The notes I took during watching the video is that:
- Communication is just as important as literacy to teach children
- Kids are not afraid of being wrong which lets them be more creative
- Kids will take a chance and if they don’t know something, they will take a go at it and they are not frightened of being wrong
- If you are not prepared to be wrong you won’t come up with anything original (love that quote)
- We don’t grow into creativity we grow out of it
- Schools of today were created in order to meet the needs for industrialism
- Women tend to be better at multi-tasking (thicker corpus colusum)
- The story about the girl who was born to dance at the end was great. Everyone just has to find their passion and what they were born to do
