Sir Ken

January12

My students listened raptly to this RSA Animate of Sir Ken Robinson. With his lovely, lilting language, complimented by the engaging RSA Animate technology, Sir Ken explains the need to change educational paradigms. Sounds pretty dry, right? Not for students of today.  They have lived the situation he outlines. They relate to the disenchantment and frustration described by Sir Ken as they have been subjected for most of their lives  to the the following out-dated educational model: information is delivered to large groups of people in a linear fashion, most of whom are sorted solely by their “date of manufacture.” How many years will it take until we see systemic and meaningful change?

    Hi Dianna, Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog! It’s so exciting to hear from someone I don’t know. Are you a teacher? Sir Ken always gets me to thinking deep thoughts and the RSA Animate format is really intriguing to me. Thanks, again, for stopping by!
