=Welcome to EDAP601Coomes= media type="custom" key="12127832" 3.1 Sir Ken Robinson is a brilliant man. I have watched the long lecture version of this same presentation. The content is great, and being abbreviated helps hold your attention. Some people are distracted by the pictures and squeaking but I find it interesting. I really agree with stimulating students as opposed to drugging them, but do see the need of drugs for the rare student. The batch system really needs to go, but the alternatives also present their own problems.

I really feel that this real time redirection of student learning could eliminate some of the mystery of how to improve test scores. I was also shocked at how many ways companies like facebook, and Google use to specialize content.

We can already see the advantaged in things like the gesture inputs for the 360, and Samsung televisions. As for the general class room we may be a ways off, but not for a PE class in Indiana. A school was hit by a tornado, and the PE classes did not have any more space than the regular education classrooms. There remedy was to use the Microsoft Xbox 360 Connect and Nintendo Wii Sports to keep the students active, and indoors.
