robots or people?

Here is another video from Sir Ken Robinson, discussing in simple terms why our kids are not robotic and should not be educated in a factory.  I know I have posted a few Sir Ken videos over time, however he has a very relevent message for parents and educators alike.  Until there is some system change we need to keep hearing from people like Sir Ken.  You can view a whole range of Sir Ken's presentations here.

the new school... interesting discussion

See if you can spot what will make the difference in education.

Sir Ken Robinson...

There is not too much new here... but it is always good to hear again.

ken again...

This animation is superbly executed.

education revolution...

This just posted on TED.com a follow up talk from Sir Ken Robinson.  It is throughly worth the 18 minutes.  He quotes Abraham Lincoln when describing what must happen in education, 

 The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.

However my favourite quote is from Sir Ken himself,

Human communities depend on a diversity of talent not a singular conception of ability

Enjoy
