Blog post #10 What can we learn from Sir Ken Robinson

In the video Bring on the Education Revolution by Sir Ken Robinson, Robinson believes the world is divided into two categories: the ones who have figured out their talents and passions and the ones who have not. . According to Robinson, there is a major climate crisis of human. Then he talked about education system, and education is currently reforming;Robinson thinks it is bad in this situation because it is simply fixing a broken tool, something that already does not work properly. Moreover, Robinson states that our education system is in need of a revolution like adding technology in the classroom to engaged students to learn. Technology can change our education system and reach students in a way that the past methods can no longer do. He said that what was needed was not an evolution, but a revolution in order to bring about a transformation. Children are in classrooms that feel natural, full of activity and technology that seem natural to children. Mr.Robinson's ideas were to challenge what we know and take for granted and innovate fundamentally. He defines passion as something that excites our soul and that it is different in every person. Passion is when you enjoy something so much that an hour feels like five minutes.We need to customize our education model based on our students and their passions. It is doing what you love.Robinson stated that education has to be re-thought out to be something that is personalized to the students' interests.What I learned from Mr.Robinson's video was that education really does need an entire transformation. Robinson's video really inspiring me about education system.

  2. Hi Anh! I enjoyed reading your post this week. Listening to Ken Robinson's lecture was very thought provoking. His goal was to make us look at teaching and learning in a completely different way, and he achieved it.
    I am not sure if there is a problem with my computer or your link but I could not get your link to work properly for me. Other than that and what Dr. Strange already mentioned about the incomplete thought regarding the crisis of human talent, your blog looks good. Keep up the good work!
