Today, im going to write a summary about a conference by Ken Robinson.

Ken Robinson introduces his speech with important themes about creativity and education. After that he start to talk about different cases that shows examples of what he is talking about. He talks about the importance of education, because it’s very important for the future. So the examples or stories that he talks about are all related to children, because there is the beginning of education, creativity and the future. Because he said children have an extraordinary capacity of innovation. Ken Robinson thinks that creativity has the same importance that math or literacy. He says that we can make mistakes, we can be wrong, and that it’s not the same than be creative. The thing is that we have to know how to get out of that mistake, like the children in the stories did. And there is where the innovations come, when we have to improve, that is the “plus” that children have, but then when they grow up that kind of things was left behind. So, he try to say, that people who works in education must be alert to that kind of signs in children and support them, not stigmatized their mistakes. Also he say that with the time, the society its worried more about the “head” than the “body”, because it’s more important a class of math, that a class of dance for example. And that it’s something that must be change. He says that its necessary rethink the concept of intelligence. So, we need to think in the future, future that maybe we didn’t see, but other will be.

 I think that he is right. I never have seen this point of view about education and creativity, and I found very interesting. Now I'm going to search more information about Ken Robinson and his idea of education.
