Barry Sponder - Some thoughts about culture creativity and education
Culture is like air - never thought about my culture of growing up in New Year till went elsewhere
We are all multicultural in various contexts, there are also sub-cultures we engage with
We can acquire new cultures and lose old ones
We cannot not exhibit our culture(s)
Creativity in multi-level
It is not the same as doing something creatively
It can be taught through modeling
America was created from many elements
Creativity and freedom go hand in hand
If he’s so creative why isn’t she rich?
Creativity is part of one’s individuality
School, education and creativity don’t mix
The government is very creative but also not very creative
Hard to characterise because of federalism
Schooling is not necessarily education
Everyone has public school in common
Schools teach curriculum not creativity
Creativity is more often found outside school
Schools are often used for social justice
The US excels in postsecondary education
Elearning synonymous with technology
Consumer-level technology is everywhere
In states elearning is outside school
social networking works for working people
radio as powerful as internet
radio is the internet using voice over images
nothing takes the place of a good story
USA has creativity from bottom to the top
Wish list
- Learning isn’t subsumed by glitz
- Politics won’t determine the future
- I hope that quality increases with quantity
- History is not lost to anything before
