may this dress jump start our imaginations!!!!

'sharp dresser . . . ' 

Creativity is putting your imagination to work, 
and it's produced 
the most extraordinary results in human culture.

Ken Robinson




As many of you know I am a TED Talks junkie hence why I started ‪#‎tedtalktuesday‬ on my daily dress intentions. Today's post is not only highly informative and wonderfully provocative, it is also a visual treat. And the point that I really wanted to share was the importance of awaken students' passions instead of dulling and drugging them. In today's high tech, social media crazed environment, I believe this point to be relative to students, but also to adults!! I hope you enjoy this as much as I have!!! peace

may this dress help us to THINK!!!! and remind us the wonders of asking . . .

As my girls are in the throws of standardized testing & I am watching as any sense of curiosity or wonder is being strangled in their classrooms, I find this Tedtalks SO timely, pertinent and inspiring. ‪#‎TedTalkTuesday‬

Learning is the new skill. 
Imagination, creation and 
asking new questions are at its core.


In most schools, we measure children on what they know. By and large, they have to memorize the content of whatever test is coming up. Because measuring the results of rote learning is easy, rote prevails. What kids know is just not important in comparison with whether they can think.
