First thoughts on this TED talk?

How do we as teachers/administrators get in the way of creativity? How can we advocate for creativity in the classroom?

Do you feel you cannot be creative as a teacher? When are you creative? How can you model creativity?

Examples of how you might use video...already use video. Do you agree that classrooms will look different in 5 years...10 years?

Do you use Kahn Academy or other online tutorials in your instruction? Have you recorded your own tutorials?

Share how SC could use a youtube channel or other media to meet the needs of intervention after school hours.

Do you see "flipping" as a positive or negative of education?
