Creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson will ask how do we make change happen in education and how do we make it last?
This is the 55 mins lecture, quite entertaining.
RSA Animate – The revolution of learning
Sir Ken Robinson about what’s going wrong at our schools, and how we may overcome this.

– human capacity is greater than we trust it is
– get over the old concept of academic / non-academic / abstract / theoretical
– great learning happens in groups; collaboration is the stuff of growth
– what habits do schools have, what purpose do they serve
