The thinking behind the Born to Learn animations

John Abbott, the man behind the 21st Century Learning Initiative and author of Overschooled but Undereducated, talks through the development of the Born to Learn animations. We are happy for our videos to be shared and translated, either in audio or text format, and we ask that appropriate accreditation/links are given to this channel and/or website.

Isn't one of the point's of the videos that it's not just the education system, it's the production system too (work, employment). I'm particularly interested in the impact on attention, and abiltity to attend to multiple things at once (an ability which our reductionist system doesn't foster). Also, this has interesting implications for group relationships, too. Cool stuff.

Very true and defines reality ... Learning should be interactive, its not about a teacher babbling in front of the students , it should be interactive , what i mean , they should make students DO what the teacher is explaining , converting these words to life ...
