Ted Talk - Sir Ken Robinson

Friday, 30 August 2013

Watching this video again reminded me of how far we've actually come in education and the recognition we have of the diversity in our minds as teachers and those of our students.  One of the comments that was made in class was, "Education is evolving.  Videos like this prove it and reinforce that evolution.  We are excited to push forward and away from the concrete, industrial model."  I appreciate that we are able to see how far we've come, that education IS, in fact, dynamic and that we need to find balance rather than swinging so far to the other side that we then lose the kids who are academically inclined or enjoy the challenge of sciences, math, etc.

I think we touched on the fact that cross-curricular or integrated education is the ideal and that as teachers we have to be integrated individuals OR at the very least be willing to step out of our comfort zones to allow our students the opportunity to explore all aspects of their being.
