COD - 9/18/2012 - Keen Talks [Video]

Keen Talks, founded in November of last year, is an educational resource that curates talks, lectures, presentations, interviews, and debates, similar to TED Talks.

Keen Talks seeks to be a "one stop destination for all users who want to learn and expand their knowledge in various fields like science, technology, health, psychology etc."

Keen Talks doesn’t curate only lectures and talks, but a wide range of engaging and interesting videos from anywhere. They include any form of presentation that can bring a significant degree of cognitive content to the table.

Keen Talks rarely includes lectures delivered in a classroom setting, unless they’re particularly noteworthy. They offer a broad range of different kinds of public appearances by some of the world’s significant intellectual figures.

If you are the copyright holder of a talk, lecture, or presentation that you want to have included on Keen Talks, just upload your material to YouTube and send them the link. Keen Talks reserves the right to decide whether to publish it or not.

Sir Ken Robinson: Educating Creativity

"We are educating people out of their creativity." - Sir Ken Robinson

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and passionate case for revamping our current education system geared to developing good workers into one that nurtures creativity.



Sir Ken led the British government's 1998 advisory committee on creative and cultural education, an inquiry into the significance of creativity in the educational system and the economy, and was knighted in 2003 for his achievements.
