Normally I catch myself watching stupid videos on YouTube: crazy kittens, little kids singing, and adults doing crazy things. I caught myself watching the “illustrated” version of Sir Ken Robinson’s “School Kills Creativity” talk on TED and sat for the whole thing. After watching it, it made me question how I can make a difference in a child's life. It also made me wonder how I am contributing to decreasing kids' capacity for creativity.
In education we have this push to bring schools into the 21st century, yet our foundation is rooted in a past that does not represent us. This video will definitely motivate you, and it will also help you think about your effectiveness as a teacher and what you are really here for.

Passion, education, technology and play all rolled into one.
