I-ma-gi-na-tion *

Today, I'm not going to talk about myself but about an interesting talk I watched online. If you click right here you'll see the video I'm going to talk about today. In this video you can see Ken Robinson giving an interesting talk about creativity and education.

Ken Robinson starts his talk saying that creativity is very important in education but nobody actually cares about it. Kids are not frightened of being wrong and that's what they do many original things, but as people grow up, they started to became frighten of their mistakes and they just do what others say that's right. Education plays an important role on this, because it's where the "right things" are introducing.

The topic Ken Robinson talks about is very interesting because it's about something that all people are involved in: the education. As he says, education kills creativity and it's very important that we take care of it and of the childrens that had an amazing capacity of creativity and imagination that we may incite instead of just giving a pill and say they are sick.

So watch it and comment !
You'll not regret about it.-

  1. Paula,
    You got the point. And don’t worry too much about the mistakes you’ve made here, you’re just being creative!! , ha,ha,ha.
    Study the following:
    (as people grow up, they started to became frighten)(a) What’s the present of started? (b)We usually use the simple form of the verb after ‘to’: to go, to see, etc. (c) Say: to be/feel/become frightened.
    (the "right things" are introducing.) Use past participle, ex. are spoken, are written, etc.
    (we take care of it and of the CHILDREN that had): ‘had’ or ’have’?
    (we may incite): Do you mean ‘encourage’?
