I just watched this interesting TED talk on how schools need to nurture creativity. He doesn't really say how they should do this effectively. Implementation is a bitch. Still, it's a thought provoking talk. He also makes jibes at academics who he says are all brains. Their bodies are merely vehicles for getting them to conferences.
