A Learning Revolution

This video of Sir Ken Robinson from the Ted Conference is fantastic. Here are some of our favorite quotes:
"Creativity is as important now in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status."

"If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original."

"You cannot predict the outcome of human development. All you can do is, like a farmer, create the conditions under which it will begin to flourish."

"It isn’t about using a cloning a system...it’s about customizing to your circumstances your own program and personalizing education for the people you are actually teaching. And doing that I think is the answer to the future."

"Every day, everywhere, our children spread their dreams under our feet. And we should tread softly."
