"Bring on the Learning Revolution"

Ken Robinson is a wonderful speaker, funny, but truthful and he gets you to think...

I just watched his TED talk at http://www.ted.com/talks/sir_ken_robinson_bring_on_the_revolution.html

He speaks of "creating conditions under which students flourish rather than creating students to fit the industrial model." His last quote from WB Yeats, "tread softly, for you tread on my dreams".

It's worth watching (under 20 minutes).
