Hello everyone! In this session Sir Ken Robinson shows a new video, in this time we can watch an illustration according to what he is talking about (so interactive!!!). So, he talks about changing paradigms in education, about how we can reformate public education and he separate two topics. One is about economy. The second reason is cultural. How we can combine, or how we are working with these two topics for the globalization. The problem is that the actual system of education was created for a different age. And, with this system some people was beneficiated, but most people has not, and that produce a chaos. Also he talks about the ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and that it’s a fictitious epidemic. Sir Ken wants to communicate that we must change the way we are used to know the education. He shows some examples to illustrate how economy and children are related, for example we are used to separate or classify children for their age, but why? That seems like there were products that we can possibly use in the future, so there is a problem in the system that we must change. It’s also important to mention the idea of “divergent thinking” as an essential capacity for creativity (we hear in the previous blog the importance of creativity). To resume we need to get over the old or classic system of education.

 This is a very interesting way to see and understand a topic that we should discus with other people. We should share this information, and that it’s what I’m doing now :).
