Creativity and Education

"If  you're not prepared to be wrong, you can never be creative."

I feel like I should know this guy, but I don't. This video is a bit longer than what I usually will post, but it was very interesting and I didn't notice the time.

What it reminds me of is a conversation I had with Christa over the weekend. She said she noticed that in the class she teaches the students will often say nothing at all because they don't want to risk saying the wrong thing. She struggles to get them to take a guess on anything. He doesn't quite have a solution to this problem, he's just trying to draw people's attention to it. He's also a very good speaker.
