Sir Ken Robinson makes some very interesting points about creativity in his video. We are educating creativity out of people. He talks about Picasso stating that children are all artists and the trick is to stay an artist as one grows up. Robinson believes creativity is as important as literacy. The point is that children are willing to take a chance, they are prepared to be wrong, and to be creative one has to think like that and not be afraid of making mistakes.

We do not want to kill this creativity in students by over emphasising the information gathering, remixing and cut and pasting from the computer, in ways which do not stimulate creative thought and self expression. How can we use new technologies in more creative ways?
