What will the future hold for us?

This highly interesting presentation is not something to be frightened about, but to be aware of.

Nowadays and everytime more and more, multi-national companies are employing people without experience, that is, without memory. Why? Because they have never had before, the problems they have now. So they do not need conventional minds, but genious minds. And the genious mind consists of imagination, creativity and intuition. This is something a computer will never have.
We should make sure our students don't grow out of creativity, but develop the creativity they were born with. 

Here you will find some suggestions for using this presentation in class.

Do schools kill creativity?

This is one of the best speeches I have ever heard about education and the importance of creativity in education.

It's hilarious, interesting, and you may like to listen to this case of a highly kinesthetic girl at school Gillian Lynne, a well-known multimillionare coreographer (Cats, Phantom of the Opera), who was diagnosed a learning disorder at school.

I absolutely agree with Sir Ken Robinson about the need to reshape the educational system which nowadays is still placing too much emphasis on the logico-mathematical, and linguistic intelligences.

This summer I had the chance to learn a bit more about the Multiple Intelligences Theory with Mario Rinvolucri thanks to a scholarship I received from the Generalitat de Catalunya. So I could attend a summer course in Pilgrims, University of Kent, in Canterbury, an experience I highly recommend: great trainers, great atmosphere, great campus.
