Watched the TED video with Ken Robinson speaking about kids creativity. I do believe that the trend in the past has been to produce these very left-brained students...even if your child doesn't fit that model because that is what our society necessitated. But I believe we are beginning to see a shift in that model. Educators are seeing the importance of a more "whole-brained" approach and I believe that will benefit everyone...both left and right brained!
YouTube is a favorite at my house. We search it for anything from "how-to" to just plain funnies. YouTube provides a very simple way to search for your subject. You are able to link to either related videos or videos created by the same person. The ability to save your videos to favorites is a great way keep those your enjoy or are needed for your research purposes.
I embedded two videos that are very similar. In fact both of them come from work produced by Karl Fisch right here in Colorado. They focus on how things have changed in our world in just a short time and how the will continue to change rapidly over the years. I fell that the whole brained approach to education will much better prepare our students for the unknown of the future.
