think divergently – encourage a DaVinci in your class or school [this century]: Post one

Sometimes you just stumble upon a great resource that helps you to challenge your own thinking. Well here is one by a well known writer, thinker and talker… Sir Ken Robinson.

This clip is one to use and challenge others thoughts – perhaps staff  about why we do things. It’s also a great clip for challenging your community to innovate, to try divergent ways to educate.

The clip takes about 12 minutes. Have a look and think about using it when you next need to make a big decisions.
