Homework for Tuesday, 1/19

Hola, estudiantes!


We continue our discussion of Sir Ken Robinson's research and perspective next through two audio interviews.  Come to class having listened to the Podcasts linked to below.*  They  were recorded almost 2 years apart for DishyMix, an interview-driven business personality, management and marketing show hosted by Susan Bratton. There are some ads and other fluff in these episodes, but push through them and really listen to Robinson's comments.


Whether or not you've volunteered to lead the discussion, as you listen to these interviews (or read anything for this course, browse the internet, or listen to a speaker, etc) you should consider:
  • How do Robinson's comments strike you?
  • Can you relate to points being made either for or against?
  • Do you agree?
  • How would you implement some of what Robinson suggests in your life, school, or work?
  • And if something is mentioned you don't know, have never heard of, or especially if there's a question left hanging, spend a few minutes tracking down some background, quick facts, or an answer.
Come to class prepared to discuss.
