Week 2


I found Sir Ken Robinson’s TED talk to be very interesting. I was particularly struck by what he described as the linearity of our current education system and how it’s all about conformity, whereas life is not linear but organic and as a community we depend upon a diversity of talents. Logically, this leads to a greater need for teachers to be able to personalize education to the people they are actually teaching. This is something that is easier said than done. However, I think that using technology in the classroom can help teachers personalize education and make it more engaging and relatable to their students.
