From TED.com: Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.
Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson challenges the way we're educating our children. He champions a radical rethink of our school systems, to cultivate creativity and acknowledge multiple types of intelligence.

This one in particular can be used in a classroom or with faculty.
Creative writing is as much "creative" as it is "writing". For some students who have signed up for a creative writing class on their own accord, being creative might be something they enjoy or that comes natural to them. On the other hand, there are the students who just need the credit, the ones who mutter, "I don't know how to start," or "I'm not creative." These games are excellent creativity and confidence boosters!
The goal is to remember that creativity isn't a contest. It isn't about who is the "most" creative or who comes up with the most intriguing, interesting idea. Creativity is, at its core, is really just bringing about ideas that weren't there before. We are creative all the time, every day, and this is a great way to demonstrate that!
There are tons of ways to use this presentation. Comment with your ideas and experiences!
