I happened upon a talk done by Sir Ken Robinson today by way of Dave Caolo of 52 Tiger, and there was a single phrase that struck me and it has to do with education today:
They’re trying to meet the future by doing what they did in the past.
You can listen/watch the whole video on YouTube and it is illustrated, which is cool, and I tend to agree with a lot of what he says about education today. Also check out his site and view some of his other videos.
