I saw this video, too, and think it is so interesting. It makes that connection between education and economics--the production imperative.
I agreed with most of what the speaker said. A quote I pulled from this video that I found most interesting was that “our children are living in the most intensely-stimulating period in the history of the Earth.” I can’t see our society getting any less stimulating from year to year, so I’m sure this “stimulating period” will continue to grow. Therefore, we can’t depend on the pedagogy that we used when my parents were growing up. We need to mold and adapt how we teach in the current time period to interest students. I really liked when the speaker said that students are bored in school because there are so many other more stimulating things to do. We can’t expect kids to honestly be interested in what they are learning. I think a new wave of pedagogy is needed to bring our simulated kids back into the realm of enthusiastic learning.
