I often play TED Talks while my students work. So, we'll be working on our projects as we listen and look up every once in a while for a visual. Unfortunately, this one, which is fantastic, won't work for more than half of my students - its in Korean. However, I offered the foundations class to stop what they were doing and watch this today.
Young-Ha's talk is a great follow up to Ken Robinson's famous talk on creativity. Rather than focus on educational paradigms, Young-Ha speaks directly to kids and creativity in a very personal and immediate manner. Stop and watch with your students, it is worth the class time.
As a postscript, the students who do speak Korean confirmed for me that it is not just the language barrier, Young-Ha Kim does indeed talk very fast.
