Really cool video on shifting the paradigm of education.

I'm interested in the thoughts the teacher folks on here have about this video.

I'm not a teacher, and I don't know the inner workings of different teaching methods, but this guy sums up how I feel about education in a much better way than I could ever dream of.

The speaker, Ken Robinson, is a leader in the field of education and arts. He was knighted for his accomplishments in education and the arts.

I first learned of him via my obsession with TEDTalks. In an older one he discusses how schools kill creativity and in his most recent he encourages people to bring on the learning revolution.

I am on the waiting list at my local library for his book, The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything.
