Excellent ! I saw Sir. Ken Robinson's video at TED and I share basically the same oppinions about education problems. This book give me a more detailled view about the new world to come and the challenges in this century. Excellent book to open new horizons and a great base for research in creativity for innovation.
Essential Reading This book is essential reading for anyone involved in education. It is a new world, an entirely different world and education and commerce well never be the same. This book provides analysis with respect to where we are and establishes a strategy for dealing with the future. We ignore these realities at our peril.
Absolutely amazing! Right on target. I was put on to Ken Robison's work after listening to his TED talk about the same subject. This is probably one of the most influential and thought-changing books I've ever read. It is very well written, is well thought-out, and highly relevant. It is long, but it is thorough, and I appreciated that. I was never bored reading it. I've bought a copy for my Sister, am lending mine to an artist friend of mine, and am considering buying one for my Brother & Sister-in-Law. I truly wish I had read this book in High School or earlier, although I'm not sure I would've appreciated the message fully. I definitely plan on using the book to form how I direct the education of my children, and my own continuing education as an adult. An eye-opener. The only drawback is that, having this kind of understanding will likely generate ideas that are disruptive to the status-quo around you. I highly recommend buying this book and reading it, which is not something I do often, although I do read a lot of books on different subjects.
Finally Recognizing the Need to Teach Creative Thinking In this day of No Child Left Behind, Teaching to Tests, and Math and Science as a priority, finally Sir Ken comes about and shares with us the need to teach children from an early age how to think creatively.
Creativity is critical to brain development, problem-solving and psycho-social development. Additionally, Innovation, has been recognized as key to the future of our economy.
great material, every parent should read this book you've never thought about these things. or, if you did, you didn't think about them in relation to your child. this book is a silent call for action; as human beings.
