Since I have been introduced to TED I have watched quite a few inspirational videos! I like that they make you think about topics you may not have thought much about before. Isn't the Internet great? I especially love videos about reforming education and how people learn. Here are three videos that will make you question our current educational model.
In this first video Sir Ken Robinson talks about how we are not all meant to do the same thing, but we are all being taught the same way. He makes a point that we are treading on our children's dreams and doing them a diservice by not recognizing their individual talents and dreams. He suggests we reform our current educational model.
Here is another video by Sir Ken Robinson about how schools take creativity away from children. He is a really great speaker!!
In the same vein as these other videos here is one by Gever Tulley at TEDxAtlanta. He says, "You can make people study, but you can't make them learn!" This video is about promoting self-directed learning.
