These are some of the ideas I got from Ken Robinson’s
talk, posted by Candice:
- · Enjoy life
- · Let your job somehow define you.
- · Create circumstances for the development of natural (human) resources
- · Innovations is hard
- · Challenge things that we take for granted
o
Question: What do we take for
granted?
- · We must rise to the occasion.
- · Fast model of education needs to be challenged.
- · We all have different talents.
o
What is your talent? How can
you use it to the fullest?
- · Everything is about passion.
Thanks, Candice it surely was food for
thought!
W.B. Yeats (1865–1939)"He Wishes For the Cloths of Heaven"
from the Collected Works of W.B. Yeats
from the Collected Works of W.B. Yeats
HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

I also loved the video posted by Candice. It is evident that Sir Ken Robinson has a great deal of knowledge about education and that he is strongly convinced that we as teachers should challenge the current model of “standardized education” to help each of our students develop his/her own talents.
Other ideas I got from the video are as follows:
- Human resources are like natural resources; they are often buried deep. You have to go looking for them and not just lying around on the surface. You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.
- We don’t need an “evolution” but a “revolution” in education.
- Human communities depend upon a diversity of talents and not upon a singular conception of ability.
- The “standardized” or “fast food” model of education should be challenged and replaced by a “customized” model adapted to each student. We should go from a manufactured model of education which is based on linearity and conformity to customizing education to the people we are actually teaching.
- People should join talent with passion in all spheres of their lives.
- Education has to fill the students’ spirits, energies and passions.
- The revolution in education must also be achieved with the help of new technologies and the internet together with the teacher’s talents.
