The Conference of Ken Robinson: Rewiev.

Ken Robinson is going to speak about three themes in the conference.

First: There’s a lot of evidence of the human creativity, all the public, all the humans have it. But the range is variable in each person.

Second: The people don’t know what is going to happens in the future. He said that the unpredictability is huge. And the education tries teaching things about the future, it’s a kind of prediction, or the education depends in that prediction of the future.

Third: All the people agreed when they think about the capacities for innovation of the kids.
In a kind of resume, he wants to talk about the education and the creativity in the same status, because –he says- both things are useful for us.

In the normal way of the education, the children are learning about securities, if they don’t commit a mistake, better. So, he said, when the children are not prepared to make something wrong, they try to do all the things like they “have” to do it correctly, and that thing reduce the creativity, and the originals things will die in the frightened child.

The people need, for a good future, a new human ecology. Focus in the human capacity, in the kind of education. Doing that, the children –with a new education- will be prepared to the future and they will do the things right. And the nature will survive.

  1. Mauricio,
    It certainly is a long talk and you managed to grasp some aspects of it. Try and read your fellow classmates’ post so that you compare your ideas.

    Observe the following:

    (the originals things): ) Adjectives never change, so they never add “s”. Ex. A boring film / many boring films
