I work in education and I have been inspired by two amazing educators, Sir Ken Robinson and Randy Paustch. I seek better ways of teaching my own students.

But over 10 years after his marvelous speeches we are still drowning in the old system with only cosmetic changes ...

Superb presentation! His talks should be mandatory material for any student on this planet--no matter what subject!

Education is the acquisition of knowledge and skills that may be facilitated but not necessarily so.

Life itself is an education system ?
