Teaching How To Learn

Tony Buzan, eSnips, Aug 23, 2007

Thanks to Michael Coghlan for sending this shortish video of Tony Buzan talking on the subject of teaching children how to learn, with a focus on creativity. I am pretty much in agreement with his argument. I have been creative all my life, and I have seen how it is depicted as "not normal" and discouraged throughout the educational process. But as Buzan argues, "'normal' is not natural... we are teaching uncreativity." Good video; nice riff on what 'creativity' is around the 11:30 minute mark.
