Ken Robinson says school kills creativity - TED

This is a funny and poignant conversation of how creativity is often knocked out of students as they go through the system. To be creative one must have the courage and the support to fail. If failing is frowned up, creativity can dry up. Robinson shares views of schools around the world and gets several good laughs in this light-hearted talk.

Digital Media Empower Youth - Edutopia

Digital Youth Network helps students to use technology to give voice to their interpretations to literature. The multimedia approach excites the students. The program goes beyond the pale to integrated video, audio, and animation. Kids who may not otherwise have access to these features are using DYN services to broaden their horizons.
