As I've posted on Twitter, I think all teachers should view Sir Ken's video's on TED or youtube. Its important for Real Learning to happen in our ever changing world.
Its irresponsible for a teacher to not consider his views!

Sir Ken Robinson
I am forever grateful to TED, and the Masters program who introduced me to Sir Ken Robinson. I still remember the day I first viewed his TED talk on creativity. Since that moment I have read his books and followed him on Twitter...embracing his thoughts and ideas as they fit my own beliefs about education, and what it should be. Looking back, this truly was an epiphany for my teaching career.
Moving forward a few years, I am proud to be an important part of Sir Ken Robinson's visit to Red Deer. We have over 700 people coming to hear him for our community night, and all of the eachers in CATCA (www.mycatca.ca) will see him the next day for our key note. Sir Ken's message is a powerful one, and I truly hope teachers become engaged with his message. Our students deserve this from their teachers. Its also great to see that there is some truth to the fact that a small group of people can make a big difference.
Kudos to the teachers of Central Alberta for bringing a world class speaker to their convention, and I truly hope that my community begins to realize, even a little bit, the power of real learning!
