Comment by Mirjan Krstovic on May 31, 2009 at 17:59: As a science/chemistry teacher I recognize the importance of creativity in scientific disciplines and so I find this video to be very thought provoking - I am pleased to hear that the College of Education is using it in Saskatchewan. I especially like the point that Sir Ken Robinson makes about "kids who have to move to think" and being once one of those kids myself, I really the feel his message in this video.

Comment by Kelly Gray on May 29, 2009 at 10:41: This Sir Ken Robinson video excerpt is currently being used as a resource at the College of Education in Saskatchewan. It was and continues to be an awakening to the joy of learning if a teacher is creative.
