Sir Ken Robinson: Do schools kill creativity?

http://static.videoegg.com/ted/flash/loader.swf

Sir Ken Robinson is author of Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative, and a leading expert on innovation and human resources. In this talk, he makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it. (Recorded February, 2006 in Monterey, CA.) – TED.com

Cultures on the Edge with Wade Davis

Wade Davis

I watched Wade Davis’ Cultures on the Edge presentation yesterday and it has impacted me tremendously. I in one fell swoop have changed my view of story telling and it necessity in the world. Wade is a persuasive and polished presenter. His simple stand and deliver approach is understated and modest but the images and words blast right into your soul. His understanding of the cultures is inspiring and will leave a lasting impression on all who watch. A must see!

With stunning photos and stories, National Geographic Explorer Wade Davis celebrates the extraordinary diversity of the world’s cultures, and argues passionately for the preservation of the “ethnosphere.” (Recorded February 2003 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 22:44) – TED.com
