Sir Ken Robinson, international known expert on creativity, has a new book out "The Element".  In the short 3 minute clip below Sir Ken gives a brief overview of this book.  He brings up a few questions:
1.  What is your view of your own talents?  
2.  What do you think you can accomplish?
3.  Do you enjoy your work or endure it? 
4.  Are you in your element? 

Both Mike and I are big fans of Sir Ken's work.  I plan to head out and get this book in the next few days.  

The second little clip is about a analogy off teaching...Teachers Are Like Gardeners.
Do you think this analogy is correct and makes sense?  Mike loves to talk about education as organic.  I think I hear that here.  What are your thoughts on this idea?
