Sir Ken Robinson

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.

Great thoughts- From Insects gone= all life gone... Humans gone= all creatures flourish, to Multi-tasking and , "If a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman is there to hear it is he still wrong?" From Dancing vs ADHD to rethinking the fundamental purpose of public education (the main point of this talk). The poignant points made in each of his speeches, laced with rich humor (humour- he is British after all) make Sir Robinson a must see. Check out his other speeches.

  1. First time I heard him, I was so taken by his content and delivery. In fact, his delivery style was the reason I introduced to him in the first place. What did you think of the TED.com web environment?

  2. While I haven't explored it much, it seems to be a great format for a great deal of information.
