Not sure where this guy, Sir Ken Robinson, is going — nor especially how it would relate to education in the U.S. (this group is from Britian — hear the accent?).
The animation is great — I’d love to have someone who could do this for quick history lessons to correspond with what we’re supposed to be doing on the curriculum calendar.
Plus, of course, he’s right. We need less standardization, and more personalization. Firing teachers frustrates both ends of that equation. He’s right — the schools are headed in the wrong direction.
I’ll wager Arne Duncan has never seen this. Any of our old friends at Education know? I’ll wager this speech and film drop into the abyss, regardless the credentials of Sir Ken Robinson and the good intentions of RSA.
RSA is the acronym for the clumsily-named Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce. “RSA” is a deft recovery from such a nomenclaturical handicap.
This RSA Animate thing has some potential — a lot like some of the animation schemes used by network news.
