Hello there! Did you enjoy Sir Ken Robbinson's video?
I loved it! So funny....but of course that's not the most important thing!
I think we, as future teachers, should always consider a fundamental tool inside our classroom: CREATIVITY!
Schools are not considering it at all, and as a result, we all know the consequences...right?
But what I really liked about his speech was the way he insists on how economy disturbs the real meaning of being a teacher you know? Mbas, Phds and stuff... are we supossed to be nothing without those degrees?
That means we are not so sure about the tools we posses. How would we? We don't even know how to use the most important one...creativity...or mistakes!
This isn't just a speculation. The only thing you have to do is to read your kid or your little brother's timetable and see how that cute little piece of paper doesn't care too much about arts or music. Now see the importance it gives to math or language...wow!
Scary isn't it? But don't worry is......how do you call it? ...REALITY?!!!
Would you like to change it?
See ya!
creativity is the key to do anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes you are right! It is a skill which doesn`t have space in our actual cultura. That is really sad. But, we like future teachers we can make a lot. Don´t you think?
ReplyDeleteIt was a great talk!
ReplyDeleteI know it must be difficult to change this reality, but it will be a challenge for us as future teacher to re-think about it, isn`t it?
I will obviously give my students the chance to develop their creativity.
ReplyDeleteI will give them crayons... and color papers and scissors... and glue!! hhaha
