I HATE unstable Wi_fi....this is the second time I have to write this! Ok, so I'm on the Thalys, on the way to Paris & wanted to share these thoughts...thanks to 'Coach' Kay for the recommendation!
I used to be able to sit down with a nice cup of earl grey at some time of the day, & do a TED-a-day...My all-time favourite being Jille Bolte Taylor's 'Stroke of Genius'...goosebump worthy. Anyway, with being so busy & all, it's been more like bi-monthly TEDs!
Still this talk by Sir Ken Robinson 'Bring on the Revolution' argues for a radical change in education system & I agree with it on many different levels. Society is forced into a framework of assessments & approval-seeking, which starts with tests & assessments at school & continues with at-work appraisals...& SWOTS ["strengthen your strengths & eradicate you weaknesses for success"]
Why should we be forced into such a structure because its the way things have always been done? Why cant we look at more intensely at diverse & organic education & learning system where technology & digital facilitates customised learning? but don't just listen to me...listen to what he says...i swear he could become a comedian!!
