Sir Ken Robinson: Changing Our Education Paradigm

The folks at RSA Animate have created another visual animated feast for an excerpt from a speech by creativity guru Sir Ken Robinson. In this 11 minute clip, Robinson discusses the outdated two-tier paradigm of our current educational system and the importance of creating a new paradigm that encourages and welcomes divergent and creative thinking, rather than trying to require students to fall into a narrow definition of "educated" and "successful."

Check out the video (go here if you can't see it below):
