Book Reviews of Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative
Book Review: Excellent !
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw Sir. Ken Robinson's video at TED and I share basically the same oppinions about education problems.
This book give me a more detailled view about the new world to come and the challenges in this century.
Excellent book to open new horizons and a great base for research in creativity for innovation.
Book Review: Essential Reading
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is essential reading for anyone involved in education. It is a new world, an entirely different world and education and commerce well never be the same. This book provides analysis with respect to where we are and establishes a strategy for dealing with the future. We ignore these realities at our peril.Book Review: Absolutely amazing! Right on target.
Summary: 5 Stars
I was put on to Ken Robison's work after listening to his TED talk about the same subject. This is probably one of the most influential and thought-changing books I've ever read. It is very well written, is well thought-out, and highly relevant. It is long, but it is thorough, and I appreciated that. I was never bored reading it. I've bought a copy for my Sister, am lending mine to an artist friend of mine, and am considering buying one for my Brother & Sister-in-Law. I truly wish I had read this book in High School or earlier, although I'm not sure I would've appreciated the message fully. I definitely plan on using the book to form how I direct the education of my children, and my own continuing education as an adult. An eye-opener. The only drawback is that, having this kind of understanding will likely generate ideas that are disruptive to the status-quo around you. I highly recommend buying this book and reading it, which is not something I do often, although I do read a lot of books on different subjects.Book Review: Finally Recognizing the Need to Teach Creative Thinking
Summary: 5 Stars
In this day of No Child Left Behind, Teaching to Tests, and Math and Science as a priority, finally Sir Ken comes about and shares with us the need to teach children from an early age how to think creatively.
Creativity is critical to brain development, problem-solving and psycho-social development. Additionally, Innovation, has been recognized as key to the future of our economy.
Book Review: great material, every parent should read this book
Summary: 5 Stars
you've never thought about these things. or, if you did, you didn't think about them in relation to your child. this book is a silent call for action; as human beings.
