Sir Ken Robinson - A Wonderful Talk


From the TED site:

About this video: "In this poignant, funny follow-up to his fabled 2006 talk, Sir Ken Robinson makes the case for a radical shift from standardized schools to personalized learning -- creating conditions where kids' natural talents can flourish."

Sir Ken Robinson in his inimitable style and on his pet topic - The need for reforming education. His videos are not perfect but they serve a purpose. They are free and fast and easy to consume. They get ideas to viewers who may not otherwise be exposed to them. Food for thought: A three-year-old is not half a six-year-old. Life is organic, not linear. Education needs to adopt the principles of agriculture and not that of industrial production. Education is not fast food...

All in all, worth 17 minutes of time!
