This paragraph was written by a human, but the next paragraph was written by an AI. Why? Well, Sir Ken Robinson was a huge inspiration for us and we believe his TED Talks should be required watching for everyone in education, but not everyone will watch a video without knowing what it’s about. We could spend some of our own time summarizing each video, but we’d prefer to spend that time meeting local educators and writing their untold stories for future posts.
Meet Sir Ken Robinson, a witty Brit who had a knack for making people rethink everything they thought they knew about learning. His TED Talk on creativity in schools went viral before "going viral" was even a thing. With charm and humor, Sir Ken challenged the idea that education is all about cramming facts into kids' heads. Instead, he championed a world where schools are playgrounds for the imagination, where finger-painting is just as important as fractions, and where every child's unique talents and interests can shine. His ideas have inspired teachers everywhere to ditch the dusty old book of repeatable lesson plans and turn classrooms into creativity labs.
