Response to Sir Ken Robinson's Video

The message Sir Ken Robinson has for me is to allow for students to show in different ways what they know. They can devise a way that is best for them to reproduce what they have learned. With Math we always think that it's equations and writing and solving and and . . . . but what if I could produce a lesson plan that could take away writing and constantly sitting in a desk. This lesson could help children become more engaged in the curriculum. If I could use dancing or musical instruments to help them learn algorthyms and equations, would I not have engaged them in creativity? Am I not showing them to be creativity when learning something new?
I remember, and it's my favorite memory of school, that in World History (I know it's not Math but it shows my point a bit better) we were learning about the start of World War One. it was about the assination of Archduke of Austria. My teacher got us to act out the scene of the assination. I will forever remember how World War One started. But it just was not what we learned but how we were engaged in it. If I can apply this type of creativity in my classroom I will show children that it is okay to learn in a different way.
When I was in school, it was always sit in the desk and learn. The only time we could get up and move around was recess, lunch and computer/art class. But during our computer/art class , it was in a limited manner. We could only get up and get our materials and go back to our seats. We were very restricted in what we could do to show our teacher that we have learned the material. For me I was always singing or humming, tapping my feet, pencils etc etc., it was the only way I could get the information into my mind. But the teacher was always telling me to stop "that racket". So when I watched Robinson's video I realized that as a teacher I have an obligation to my students to let them be creative. If I don't then I am a criminal stealing away their education.
