Week 10 Everyone Can Create-VIDEO
EDCI318 Tech for Teaching & Learning-Fall 2018
Over the next 4 weeks that is exactly what we will be doing...
Igniting Your Creativity
Do Schools Kill Creativity?
Ken Robinson: The Element: How Finding your Passion Changes Everything. Within the book, he explains that we all have talents and gifts. When those talents and gifts work in concert with our passions, we are functioning within a productive, sweet spot called The Element.
He firmly believes that we are all capable of being creative, and he reaffirms that within this book. He also criticizes schools (that often separate arts from core subjects) and workplace environments that notoriously stifle the natural, creative juices we all possess.
Robinson suggests we need to know our own minds, realize our own potential talents, and allow ourselves to be stimulated by the work ideas and achievements of others. He suggests that if someone is not creative, it’s because they haven’t been allowed to be or haven’t been shown how to be. Most importantly, he believes that creativity, not standardization is the key to successful futures for individuals, schools and business organizations.
Everyone Can Create
A collection of project guides that bring creative expression to every subject.
The projects in the Everyone Can Create guides teach students to develop and communicate ideas through video, photography, music, and drawing. And they help ignite creativity by giving teachers fun and meaningful ways to bring these skills into any lesson, topic, or assignment.
