Sir Ken Robinson a Huge Hit
As far as I'm concerned, Sir Ken knows creativity, although he did have difficulty pronouncing "Renaissance" (renay sance) . . . I guess that is the British way. I hope he pronounces it correctly on July 4.Clearly, he understands children, adults, bugs, Venice, the brain, and exquisite humor. This is one of those lectures where you had to be there to appreciate the man, his message, and performance. He spoke so well on so many topics: Las Vegas, Americans get the meaning of irony (NCLB), divergent thinking theory and statistics, creativity = hard work, . . .
I was amazed that he spoke for over an hour without notes, quoted statistics and text, stood in one spot, and was clear in his paths and message. Take a minute and download his TED talk (see post below) and share it with the faculty, parents, and trustees, and be sure to get his book Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative.

And hang tight since NAIS will be posting a 4-6 minute edited version of Sir Ken Robinson's remarks to independent schools at Radio City Music Hall as soon as possible!
As for me, I have just joined the Sir Ken Robinson Fan Club (move over George Clooney)!
