Blog Post 10
Sir Ken Robinson began his TEDtalk by humorously comparing school reform to a climate crisis because of its urgency. He says that humans make very little use of their talents and even fewer recognize their ability. One of his points was how some of the teaching methods that teachers are using today in the classroom have been outdated. I actually agree with this because everyday something is being created to help better future teaching and learning for the upcoming students. Ken discusses how we as a society have been obsessed with getting to college, yet human communities depend on diversity. In closing, he states that society as a whole needs passion.

If we go through life not knowing our talents, how are we going to know what job we would love to have and enjoy getting up everyday for. If we don't realize our talents then we will get stuck will a lot of things throughout life that we hate doing. I also agree that we shouldn't just adapt to the things already there for us in our classroom, we should be engaging new ideas and new technology so we can teach in the way children are learning nowadays. Good post!

Succinct. OK.
ReplyDeleteIt is always great to allow students to learn what their strengths and weaknesses are, and this TED talk emphasizes that. Students are so focused on obtaining a college diploma that they do not explore the countless options that are available. Great post!
