TED Talks: Sir Ken Robinson asks, "Do Schools Kill Creativity?"

If you haven't discovered TED talks yet, you are really missing some great stuff.  

From their site:
"TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design it started out as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become even broader.

The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes)"

This is heady stuff that will fascinate you. Imagine Biography, The Discovery Channel and YouTube all coming together.

The list of speakers ranges from scientists to musicians to inventors to politicians with names that include Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Thomas Dolby, Richard Dawkins, Jeff Bezos, Bono, Stephen Hawking, Larry Lessig, Jill Sobule, Amy Tan and Jane Goodall.

Check out Sir Ken Robinson with his talk "Do Schools Kill Creativity?" (see link above)
