[baharn911]

I wish I'd seen this sooner. But it's never too late. What a great timing to watch this when I am planning on going back to school.

There are abstract thinkers and visual acustic thinkers, its brain design by nature alpha waves or not. we must make sure that in politics compatibel brains meet.

I can certainly identify with Sir Robinson. I studied Art and Spanish in school -- Spanish because my dad made me take it. I only wanted to be an artist. I ended up in education in order to have a better, steady pay check. Oh, the irony!

[PianoMastR64]

what do you think? This is just an idea, but i think a very large group of very smart people like Sir Ken Robinson should all get together and answer all these "How do we do this?" questions. Then they should create a brand new form of education that works. Then i think they should give it away for free on the internet.

if that last step confuses you then please watch this video:

RSA Animate - Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us

Also watch the RSA Animate ken robinson video.

Anyone got the entire thing?

[Benjy3634]

this guy is saying everything I've wanted to say for the last many years - plus so much more. He's my new hero.

[dekkerable]

Love his remarks about "what it means to be British" @25:30

[jdavem2012]

Sir you are a genius, if only our world leaders thought like you.

[indianajones34]

You're so very right. I actually found what I wanted to do with my life by accident. In my country and state the last two years of public education is fairly open and you're able to choose, for the most part, what classes you want to do. I chose not to do maths because I despised it and was sick of it after 11 years of continuously doing it. Instead I picked up photography as a way to fill in for maths and for an easy ride. I discovered, after 11 years , I loved photography and was good at it!

Like Sir Ken Robinson said. What we need is a process of helping people to engage with the world around them. I think we need to make our interaction with the world more gameful. Games are always engaging and I believe they can change the world.

Why is this edited???!!!!! So frustrating....

[tmarsha4]

I love this talk. I do not like his reference to David Attenborough, which reminds me of when scientists in the 80's said we would have depleted all natural resources by now. They are wrong. We have more. You cannot judge future implications based on present assumptions, especially when your tools are the human mind who can always find a way out of a hole -- and always will.

[sugatoniik]

only 3000 people have watched this !?

that's shocking!

we need to get people like nigahiga and rebecca black promoting this on youtube.

[NIGGUHNIGGUH123]

@sugatoniik 19 thousand today :D

[misdeemusic]

Ken Robinson rocks my socks. He's an amazing example of how to be a visionary with the cunning use of common sense.

[MrDarkbloom]

This guy is wonderful.

[teachwatts]

I wish this existed without any edits

[okeinhander]

@teachwatts you can watch it on the main LWF site. It's got the full length video plus an after panel discussion. :)
