Culture, Community, Connection

Another insightful video that talks about the relationship between Man and Earth as well as the importance of the preservation and diversity of culture. Through the use of technology – the Internet, satellite broadcasts, digital imaging – we can examine, appreciate and work together to preserve our rich cultural beliefs and practices as well as share them with future generations. This and other great videos can be found at TED.

Ken Robinson, TED & Creativity

As an educator and grandmother, I found the premises and concepts presented by Sir Ken very enlightening and thought-provoking. His ideas regarding creativity and our children’s capacity to learn emphasized how integral creativity is to impactful education. Intelligence is diverse, distinct and dynamic – our education system needs to recognize our children’s creative capacity.
