Creativity in Education

I came across this video on YouTube and found it very interesting. I believe its purpose is to raise funds for a film school, but it poses some interesting points about education and the importance of creativity in the future of our children.

I know the school is a film making school, but their points apply to ALL schools and all children. In the video, they say, "because when students learn through the lens of something they care about, they care about doing the work." This is true for ALL schools! It is our job as teachers to facilitate learning, but this becomes much easier and more meaningful when the students care about the "what"s and the "why"s of their learning.

Plus this video is pretty cool. :)
