#whatisschool is amazing and is truly inspirational. An idea sparked from a conversation and the chat was born last June. Laura and I started this chat to inspire other educators to connect, engage and share their passionate stories about what school is – a story of being an educator!
This week we are still missing Laura, who will be back in action soon but we have the ever amazing Mark Weston helping me steer the ship as we discuss nurturing creativity on Thursday 29 January at 6pm EST (Friday 9am AEST, Friday 12pm NZT, 7am Singapore).

Most of you would have seen this amazing TED talk from Sir Ken Robinson in 2006. If you have not it is a must watch! It is the basis for many of the things that inspire me today and will help us guide our discussion on Thursday.
