30 Laurie February 7, 2009 at 6:28 pm: I viewed all these videos (plus a few more) and they were incredibly interesting. I am a creative person and I am always wanting to now about that part of me and how to exercise it to grow.

As a teacher, I believe like Ken Robinson, that the schools are too concerned with the left side of your brain. The arts are also valuble but usually the first to get sliced in budget cuts. When we have no inventors or innovations, we’ll kick ourselves for not watering the creative garden like we should be.
31 Mark February 9, 2009 at 9:25 am: I hope the weekend was fantastic!
