Educational Reform
This video compliments of Penny Burger, an educational reformer in her own way. You might remember Sir Ken Robinson from his TED Talk on creativity.
The point taken in the video was that modern schools were based on preparation for an industrial society. Since the 1950s, there's been a shift towards technology. Technology changes rapidly and is disruptive. The video stresses the need to teach students how to adapt to this dynamic environment. One point taken was that students need to be highly creative.

I ordered a copy of the DVD and it arrived promptly. I don't know if it is coded for a US dvd player but it played fine in my computer dvd drive.
This video supports the urgency for change. The last comment was powerful when it said that education is the way for us to solve all issues that are surrounding us.
