you guys I’ll see this just kidding I’ve
been a student for almost 15 years now
so I’ve seen my fair share ugly
presentation slides but I promise I’m
not here to condemn you all the death by
PowerPoint tonight over the years I’ve
learned a lot and I’ve learned something
about learning that I think is
critically important the most powerful
and enlightening moments I had at school
have come not during lectures tests or
even labs but from the time when I was
required to do the teaching this quote
often attributed to Albert Einstein that
really captures this idea for me if you
can’t explain it simply you don’t really
understand it my experience this kind of
learning goes back to middle school
where product after project rather than
test after test force me to organize and
synthesize what I have learned in a much
more complete way it paid dividends the
first time I really felt a passion for
science which while designing a
presentation on the lifecycle of a star
in a few months I’ll be going to college
to pursue an education in stem the kind
of learning I experienced in middle
school has a name it’s called the Bynum
method and it goes something like this
hyneman’s learning technical is
effective but learning something new yes
deepening your understanding of what you
already know about or helping you study
for an exam about it as if you’re
teaching the idea first step is to pick
a topic you want to understanding and
start studying it once you know what it
is about take a piece of paper and write
about it real as if you’re teaching the
idea to someone else
ideally write and speak at the same time
just as a teacher does it at the
blackboard and from you explain the
whole topic this makes you realize which
part you understand and where you still
have gaps
whenever you get stuck go back to study
and repeat that process until you have
explained the whole topic from start to
end as a privateer often surprised but a
mad unintentional learning I go through
I’ll try and teach nothing else Claire
our general concepts and ideas swimming
around my head better than trying
explaining to someone else try and teach
you how because our topic works for me
to understand it on a much deeper level
than any other kind of assignment this
understanding the benefits of buying
learning has led me to important
question if one during my teaching is so
powerful how I’m getting more students
to teach how can we give them access to
its benefits the allowing answer is just
a sign of progress but there’s reason
why is doesn’t work we’ve all seen a
slot
and maybe we’ve seen this kind of
predator
but how this you see they’re all saying
just like all the other only powerlines
messy slides and dizzy prejudice
tactical pictures on a blank background
has been around forever and it’s just
not good enough we need something more
lovely mock technology has rendered the
tribal obsolete videos ebooks
interactive infographics these are the
future of content and the future of
Education with this in mind a few
colleagues of mine and I have been
working on a product and I’m really
excited to tell you about it we get to
decide an egg though so I’d like to ask
you for somehow in this department in
your programs there’s a hack you can use
to make suggestions and comments on
Twitter at M VHS steam unfortunately I
can’t offer you any royalties but I’d
really appreciate if you share any great
ideas you have me our products mission
is to provide a platform for students to
create share and consume educational
content another sounds familiar but
makes this product different is that’s
going to be created almost entire leave
by students you see students have a
value perspective on what’s difficult in
the classes they’re actually taking I
think that everyone can teach and with
this product we want to get more
students teaching than ever before
anyway we’re going to be able to
contribute but the way in most students
starting out is in class it will start
one of their teachers signs product as a
way to wrap up a certain subject
students will go home and work on some
sort of explanation not just boring
powerpoints and slideshows but videos
ebooks maybe even means
once they’ve done the students will turn
it in and teachers will be able to great
it however they like but they’re also
going to have to check for accuracy
because it’s very important but for this
product we don’t become purveyors of
misinformation we wouldn’t want any
videos explaining how exactly the Sun
orbits the earth for example if
everything checks out
it’ll be hollowed into what I all local
exchange which is the website that
collects all the products done by
students at a particular school everyone
asks we’ll be able to look at these
products and learn from them from this
point the website will collect usage
statistics and ratings this will allow
us to identify and very best products
from each school these products let me
promote it to what’s called a global
exchange where students and teachers and
people all over the world will be able
to look at it from the main website gone
are the days when an old Prague can
simply sit rotting behind someone’s
driver
throughout the process students will be
learning skill very often side and
education communication we’re always
told students need to learn to be good
communicators and now more people than
our can try it
our project is very excited but it needs
content and you have so I’d like to ask
for another favor teachers think about
assigning these products in your
classrooms parents next time you want to
help your student ask them to explain
something students I know you know
things and even if you aren’t ready to
try and help someone else you’ll at
least be doing yourself a favor by
giving a go anyway the physics of bottle
loving the art of starter head Quan will
advance what will you teach me I’m so
excited about this product because I
think it out have the capability to
multiply impact any given student can
have a project all the way to the global
exchange how does the potential to help
students all over the world we are
dramatically increasing the impact of a
good explanation so when the inevitable
question students like to ask comes up
what if the name is good for the answer
is completely unambiguous your work can
be the difference between confusion and
clarity for someone else all it takes is
a little bit of effort this is my degree
I hope you’re excited to thank
