Feel Good Friday…The Future of EducationEducation…I think we can all agree that we need it. The problem is we don’t necessarily agree what that education should look like. I came up in a system that rewarded the memorization of facts and events. I also was fortunate enough to learn how to learn. And this may be the most important thing...the ability to think, and reason, to extrapolate information and draw a new seemingly unconnected conclusion. On top of that we should add the ability to get along, the social intelligence needed to turn our intellect to good use for the greater good.
In the following video Sir Ken Robinson offers a very interesting solution for the future of education. Let’s face it…should we be teaching compliance or creativity, times tables or time management, historical events or historical interpretation? See it here:
