RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms

1) As a human being, this video makes me wonder what America's education program will look like when my children go through it someday. How can the community and government work together to make effective changes in the school to promote creativity, individuality and unique learning styles? Will these changes effect the economy in a positive or negative way?

2) As a teacher, I wonder if I will be able to connect with all of my students and help them all to learn in the classroom. How can I keep them interested in the topic at hand while still teaching them the materials they will need for standardize testing? Are teachers learning enough about learning styles before they are brought into a classroom of their own?

3) As a scientist I would ask the question, What science can be introduced to students to keep them truely interested throughout school? I would also ask, What tests and/or experiments can be made to determine if a student really has ADHD or if they are just bored?

Hello. I'm Courtney and this is my first blog posting. I have no idea how to use these programs yet but I will do my best to stay on top of it all.

Thanks!
