Sir Ken Robinson was a British author, speaker, and education expert known for his research on creativity, innovation, and the need for educational reform. His work emphasized the importance of nurturing individual talents and creativity in education systems, arguing that traditional schooling often stifles these qualities. He reminds us that our current educational system was created for the industrial revolution. Robinson advocated for a shift towards more personalized and creative approaches to learning, aiming to better prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century. His TED Talk, "Do Schools Kill Creativity?", is one of the most-watched TED Talks of all time and has had a significant impact on educational discourse worldwide. We watch it often. Robinson's research and advocacy continue to influence educators, policymakers, and parents, sparking conversations and initiatives aimed at transforming education to better serve the needs of students. He passed away in 2020, but his ideas and legacy continue to inspire efforts to reform education systems globally. His other #tedtalks include; " Bring on The Learning Revolution," " How to Escape Education's Death Valley," and " Changing Education Paradigms." Considered a "creativity expert," Robinson challenged the way we educate our children, championing a radical rethink of how our school systems cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence. At CREATOPIA, INC. we appreciate his research and understand the implications of such on our culture and society as a whole. #whereisthecreativity? #rightbrainabilitiesmatter #thecaseforcreativity "Changing Educational Paradigms" (below), has some amazing designs that help tell the story. Enjoy!

This graduation season, I’m feeling very reflective and grateful… so let me say this- The higher education that students receive SHOULD empower them to advocate for themselves, make decisions that align with their core values, and test the limits of the society that they want to live in. Who are we as educators if we do not provide an environment that fosters this educational journey? Who are we as educators if we do not lean into conversations and strive to be innovative in how we teach our students? Who are we if our policies condemn and expel our students rather than challenge and redirect them? #TheStickyWicket How do we maintain an equitable and balanced approach without political interference? We must ask ourselves these questions. We must say the quiet part out loud. Sending hugs to all of my fellow #studentconduct colleagues, we gon’ be alright. #RestorativeJustice #DifficultConversations #StudentActivism

I recently responded to Joe Wilferth in the following manner. We share similar perspectives. Your article presents a compelling argument, one that I've been advocating for years. In essence, higher education, particularly the Liberal Arts, should be thriving in our current knowledge-based and conceptual economy. However, we struggle to communicate our message because we are a triple-bottom-line business. I wrote about it recently here: https://lnkd.in/dXPF4kKz Curious about your thoughts.

This special issue on "Professionalism, Incivility, and Social Media: Educational Foundations in Digital Times" grapples with timely and important themes. I've learned so much by connecting with the authors and Editors Gemma Porter, Ee-Seul Yoon, and Jonathan Anuik of this issue of the OA Journal of Contemporary Issues in Education. The feedback I received made me think deeply about social media, critical pedagogy, digital literacies, and Educational Development practice. I look forward to any thoughts people have on my piece on "Building Critical Digital Literacies for Social Media through Educational Development" https://lnkd.in/gUnVJJHr #socialmedia #highereduation #educationaldevelopment #digitalliteracies
