Changing Education Paradigms

 
I ran across this video by RSAnimate featuring Sir Ken Robinson, an internationally recognized leader in the development of education, creativity, and innovation. This video, titled “Changing Education Paradigms,” depicts an interesting perspective on education and how the culture of education has changed over time. The Animate states that every country on earth is reforming public education and goes on to provide two reasons why: economic and culture. People are trying to figure out how we educate our youth to take their place in the economies of the 21st Century while also trying to figure out how we educate them to have a cultural identity and provide them the opportunity to pass down the cultural genes they have to generations to come.
 
Sir Ken Robinson’s perspective on education is very interesting. I found myself thinking “Wow, no one has said it like that before.” I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.
 
Until next time,
