Ted talk Ken Robinson :Bring on the learning revolution

What in education is out dated, like the wristwatch."a single function device."?

 According to Ken Robinson, Education is an evolution instead of a revolution.  We as humans see one direct path, we don’t see the big picture, the bigger picture being that education is not for everyone, and each person makes their own path toward education if they choose too or not.  Revolution shall give the generation now a better way of learning.

We as a generation don’t acknowledge what we are good at; we just follow everyone else and what they are doing. Nowadays people just like to get through life they don’t see any real enjoyment in life. That’s no way to live life you need to enjoy yourself, live the moment. With this revolution everything will change, we would no longer ignore our talents and show improvement, Change in our generation is a much-needed thing. The change will include transforming education in to what it once was and yet many times better.  

Everyone has forgotten what education really means. Education was about finding what you loved to do, what you wanted to pursue. Education in this generation has been manipulated into a competition. A competition that has narrowed our views where we only think about how long will it takes us to transfer and what classes I need to take to make that happen in little as possible. Education will no longer be about who has a better GPA, the better grade, or who got in to what college. It will now be about what you want and not what others think is best for you.

           

             

Paulo Freire article and my thoughts

In this article written by Paulo Freire we find that there are many topics covered regarding how education is not really what is seems. Freire talks about how education is not taught the way it should be as well as how teachers and students should come together to reach their common goal. Freire also believes that teachers and students partnership is crucial to accomplish this goal, this goal being a better education concept.

            In the eyes of Freire education is not what it perceives to be he looks at education as just being information as being passed down from teacher to student. Information that the teacher wants the student memorize for that time being, which will have no purpose later on. He feels that it should not be that way he sees education as the student using his creative mind to expand on what the teacher gives them. Yet all he sees is the teacher restricting the student from thinking for him self and having him or her do as he does.

            Freire does not consider education to be a circumstance where the student must follow the teachers way of thinking, he sees the teacher letting the student explore for himself. When a student thinks for himself he contributes his or her own ideas good or bad there is contribution from their part. If the students and teachers could come together to expand all their ideas as one, this would create for better learning because both the student and the teacher will have a great learning experience. The reason why both student and teacher will benefit from this is because they will bot see different concepts that they have never thought about or paid little attention to, by doing this they will open their way of thinking. 

            If teachers and students would come together to accomplish this better education goal in the way that is mentioned by Freire education would be something else. Education would not be what it is today. Education would be made by older and newer generation thus making it more diverse. If education is more diverse it would cover larger topics rather than a narrow windows of controlled facts. Education would be more appealing to more people because of the broader concepts.

            In conclusion the article above explains how education is controlled and how it should be shifted into a newer idea. This idea being where the teacher doesn’t control what the students learn rather have the students and teachers teach one another. Where the teacher and the student work as one to share ideas on facts and decide together if they agree with it. Education is controlled but it should not, it should be left for the students to expand on not to memorize.
