[|TED TALKS]
 * Creativity should have the same status as literacy.
 * Solving problems sparks curiosity and creativity.
 * Conversely, giving the learner too much information can kill that buzz.
 * We need creative problem-solvers for our future.
 * Learning happens best when it's social, collaborative, has meaning and is on the learner's terms.

1. Sugata Mitra
Sugata Mitra's research shows children are capable of learning complex concepts on their own. He asks whether we still have the need for teachers of content, or if a nurturing grandmother is more effective.

2. Dan Meyer
Dan Meyer is the Maths teacher I wanted. He creates problems that students want to solve. What do you prefer: 'Two and a Half Men' or 'Deadwood'?

3. Daphne Koller
Free education? That the learner can choose? Sounds good to me. As does hearing that procrastination could be a global phenomenon. I prefer to think that deadlines stimulate creativity.

4. Dan Pink
Dan Pink outlines three key ingredients for engaging learners of any age: mastery, purpose and autonomy. Watch his talk and then read his book, 'Drive'.
