Monday, December 13, 2010 Pass It On Education Content: RSA Animate (21st Century Enlightenment)One of my new favorite things is a series of animated shorts by RSA Animate of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce. RSA has been "a cradle of enlightenment thinking and a force for social progress" for over 250 years. They describe their approach as "multi-disciplinary, politically independent and combines cutting edge research and policy development with practical action." In an earlier post I introduced you to perhaps my favorite RSA Animate piece: Changing Education Paradigms. I also posted a similar production by Steve Johnson (not related to RSA), Where Good Ideas Come From, promoting the thesis of his new book Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation. Now, I'd like to introduce you to 21st Century Enlightenment, by Matthew Taylor. It is another exceptional, thought provoking 11-minute piece. Check It Out! Pass It On!
