Bring on the learning evolution
The speaker of the TED Talk guest is Ken Robinson and he explores the learning evolution in education, arguing that we are living organic lives. Robinson suggests that schools and colleges must cultivate students creativity for the future.
Robison discusses the idea of linearity in his speech, making the statement the following statement:
‘Life is not linear , its organic. We create our lives semiotically as we explore our talents in relations to the circumstances they help to create for us. But you know, we are become more obsess with this linear narrative, and probably the pinnacle of this is getting you an education at college.’
We know the routine of our daily lives, that the rhythm of our lives are not dictated by linearity and expectations but by spontaneity.
Robinson’s statement somewhat relates to our Korsakow films, that is, that we don’t know what we are going to watch or when we do. What we do know however, is the emerging pattern of the evolution of a Korsakow film as we actively immerse ourselves by watching it. For example, if a Korkakow film is based on the pattern of ‘lists’, as we engage ourselves in the interactive documentary, we can begin to get a sense of what the filmmaker is trying to show us. Such as, if the Korsakow film was about a list of farm animals, viewers will be watching clip-lets of animals feeding in barnyards and playing in mud, etc.
This TED Talk was incredibly engaging to watch. Robinson speaks plain English, making the video more understandable, sometimes, I do have trouble understanding what speakers are talking about. His charisma enthrals his audience, making them laugh with his honest small jokes, maybe it’s mainly because his pure British accent. To me, it’s all about his charm that makes the video effortless to watch.
So far, the video has been watched by a total of around 4,853,000 people from around the world.
