Whilst perusing the educational bounty of the worldwide web I happened upon this gem of a video. Hopefully by now you are familiar with Sir Ken Robinson and his argument regarding the ways in which the modern education system undermines creativity from his TED talk (if not, please watch it before Wednesday). If you found the TED video encouraging, problematic, or even a bit confusing and are looking for more historical contextualization and paradigmatic analysis of contemporary education from Sir Ken (this time with some lovely animation), take a few moments to watch, read, and contemplate this video from the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA).
