We are all learning! Talk: Sir Ken Robinson on Changing Education

February 23rd, 2012

This is an excellent animated video of a talk by Sir Ken Robinson, education and creativity expert on Changing Education.

What I love about how Sir Ken Robinson discusses Changing Education is he shows clear insight of how through the evolution in innovations and technology of the last few hundred years (if not longer), our behaviour and responses to the world around us has changed in our every day life  - in what we do, what we pay attention to, and the internal and collaborative processes we use to learn, adapt and survive in a rapidly changing technological environment. He then contrasts this very eloquently with the view that for what ever reason, the pace of change in how we think about education, learning and formal learning contexts has not changed at the same pace or in the same way. He uses school education to exemplify his point. For me this video also spoke of higher education. » Read more: We are all learning! Talk: Sir Ken Robinson on Changing Education

Reflection I haven’t done for a couple of years and given how difficult it can be juggling teaching, research, administration, marking, supervision and life … I thought it was increasingly important to revisit these questions! » Read more: Digital Media Literacy in Business, Media Management & Marketing
