Week 2 Respond and reflect to the Ken Robinson 2006 Ted Talk episode on creativity education and intelligence



Creativity should be treated the same in classrooms as literacy !!!!
 

This TED talk was not only educational, it was also entertaining. Sir Ken Robinson had a lot of really funny stories that made this talk that much more meaningful. 


This talk definitely allowed me to give more credence to his ideas of an creativity education revolution. I don't think school should kill creativity.But in the reality , The academic system we have now does kill creativity.

When in reality, people are creative in so many different ways. Traditional schooling methods usually target auditory, and visual learners. Therefore it is harder for students to find something they are passionate about if they do not learn through auditory or visual methods.Actually every subject , every course and every job also need creativity to create the system .Not only a designer , an artist but engineer , accountant , lawyer . Designer need creativity to create a object , environment . and the engineer , accountant ,lawyer and every job need creativity and idea to create such as the mathematical system , software system , formula , mechanical system and more.If a student is not taught to be creative we will not ever have new or even improved things in this world. This is especially important today because of the high need for engineers to be creative today. Examples of this could include: phones, refrigerators, higher quality bridges.
I totally agreed with what Mr Ken Robinson talk. A person with no creativity wouldn't answer the another answer and they will follow what the book write. I was really inspired by the story he told of the girl who achieved excellece when her talents were appreciated rather than discouraged. I think that with how strictly we have enforced standardized testing we struggle to find balance between working with the strengths of each child and preparing them for the exams.

 I believe that everyone does have their special talents and they shouldn't be "squandered", as Ken Robinson put it, they should be embraced. You always here the saying, "the starving artist", it is sad in this culture we put such an emphasis on developing other skills than creativity. Original work and ideas require creativity and are part of higher order thinking.

Inserting different learning styles and interests in the class activities can help engage students in the learning process.Teacher in the school need creativity to influence the students to hear. I remember when something was taught in a fun way I was more interested in it rather than just some boring lecture that turned into a useless test. 
Actually I am don’t know what will be in my future, but the reality is that even with a specific degree, you have the knowledge to choose how you wish to approach your dreams. I have a dream of my own , I wish to create a special stuff that be agree by everyone in the society.That why  , i need a creative education.

LEARNING CREATIVE
  IS NOT EVOLUTION BUT REVOLUTION 

 CREATIVE EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT
