Animated talks

I was having a look at this blog - Learning with 'e's http://steve-wheeler.blogspot.com/
and it has a post with a video of a talk by Ken Robinson about the need for a new education paradigm. Ken Robinson is always easy to listen to- I've enjoyed his TED talk on creativity for example, but what is new to me is the way this has been brilliantly illustrated by RSAnimate -
