Since I am very much enjoying Phantoms in the Brain, I thought the video from TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) would be worth sharing. This is the link: Ramachandran at TED and well worth the 20 or so minutes, despite the odd editing glitches.
Mind you, TED is a great resource anyway: this on play, for example (watch for the red rubber ball stuff!) or Csikszentmihalyi on flow or the ever-excellent (and funny) Ken Robinson on creativity and education. Questions arise: what “feeds the spirit”? How do we truly listen? What is resilience?
Big questions in the reform of education.
