#2 Sir Ken Robinson

After watching Mr. Robinson's speech in regards to the current status of the education system, I believe that he brings up many valid points regarding the somewhat complacent state of education. The analogy of the fast food model was an accurate depiction describing the overly standardized expectations of the very linear educational track followed by students throughout their schooling career. This streamlined approach, although efficient, does not always effectively challenge and push students to their individual potentials, and could also leave some children overlooked. I believe by incorporating more technology into education, students will be exposed to a more dynamic curriculum allowing for individual growth that is monitored by the educator. It will develop more creativity, excitement and interest within the students and allow them to experience their education more fully as opposed to just completing courses and moving on to further grades or study.
