Title: Creativity Counts!
Our own Lindsey Zimmer recently got to attend an Edshift conference in Los Colinas with other BISD educators. She was able to listen to a presentation by Sir Ken, witness an artist create drawings as he spoke, and sit on a panel of students with Sir Ken to discuss the state of education in their schools.
Use headphones to listen to the video below. Sir Ken Robinson is a well renowned author and educator. His TED Talk offers perspective on the controversial topic of killing creativity in children.
