Bring On The Learning Revolution!

A few months ago I created a thread entitled: Does School Kill Creativity? It focused on a talk given by Sir Ken Robinson at an annual TED Conference in which he proposed that the schooling system does, in some cases, stifle creativity.

In his latest talk he further explains this and goes on to propose that education systems around the world need to be revolutionised to fit the current trends.

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.

I know many on here thoroughly enjoyed the last video and so thought that this one also deserved it's own thread. So, what are your thoughts?

As a student, too, I can agree, that schools kills cree aa ti vi tee
endless hours of boredom

Hey there LF8 .

He did a lecture for that other fabulous organisation RSA.org too.

He`s a great speaker.



There is a nice range of interesting topics covered by RSA.org, with the animations adding a very distinctive touch.

Thank you VERY MUCH for adding that video

I have seen a few of these RSA videos in recent months but not his one and I thank you for adding it to the thread, it's brilliant. I'm sure I will watch it several more times in the next couple of days so it all sinks in. I hope others do too.

Cheers
