1.Show students static graphics. 2.Give time for them to visualize it. 3.Show them the Animation. This helps them to think, make corrections and think better next time.

Hi man, thanks for the video! I am very interested in education and how the traditional process can be improved. Over my recent university years I have made some observations: 1.) MOOCs are great, but they miss human contact. It is kinda studying alone. I cannot talk about the stuff with classmates as I would normally would. Also if I dont understand something I cannot interrupt the teacher at the moment and ask him to explain something more or to challenge his proposed ideas. 2.) I think we should combine videos/reading for transferring the information and then just be in class to discuss these things or solve some problems - use the classroom for its most valuable things it offer - dialogue, immediacy. 3.) People wanna do courses from scratch. There has been a lot of things done already. Teaching a language? Let people learn the vocabulary with memrise.com. Teaching algorithms? Tell students to watch MIT OCW video about the topic before the class. Dont write your own Linear algebra book, let them use the famous Introduction to LA written by Gilbert Strang. 4.) Education should be about creativity, finding new ways to approach things, experiments, yet, teachers and school are extremely rigid and unwilling to change or modify the system if a new things is proposed. 5.) People should not be told things (such as A^2=B^2+C^2) - people should be given problems and understand why we want to solve it first. How would a worker figure out whether he has a right angle between 2 walls he built (Pythagorean theorem)? Why should I write readable code? Give students task to program something and then another task to modify it and them tell them to modify example well designed code. They will understand that rewriting their ugly code for hours was wasted effort. 6.) I miss learning by doing. Sometimes the best way to learn something is not by studying it in the first place, but by doing that when doing something else. Lets say TEX - teach people it and they might forget. Give them a chance to get bonus points for writing linear algebra HW in TEX starting from simple things and they will appreciate that. 7.) peer reviews are great - do work and then evaluate the same task of someone else (or also your own as well). 8.) I think it has been written at multiple places - when a test or HW is done, people should see the results/correct solution ASAP so they still remember what they have done. Exams are not for evaluation, but also crucial for learning itself. Checking my quiz a week after I wrote it and I have no idea why I have written the things I have. 9.) I think one advantage of classical universities is also that they are complete - they have some well (more or less) defined syllabus and offer a package of courses for a given major.

2:09. Wow! I was watching a veritasium video showing a clip from a CGP grey video showing a clip from a minute physics video.

6:16 So per his description of the most important thing a teacher does, that means out of the 130 different teachers I had throughout my entire school life from 2nd grade to graduation...only 1 of them did their job. Every other one simply wasted their time. And all the "teachers" I actually had fun learning things from, WEREN'T EVEN TEACHERS, they were staff workers, psychologists, and other members of the "front offices" as we call them. So, fundamentally, none of my teachers did what they were supposed to. At least for me anyway

Only if teachers cared more. 6:17 my math teacher in middle school was the best she tried everything she could to make us understand and learn and often made math jokes that associate to the subject.But in the first math class in high school our teacher told us that none matter and are important unless we make something out of our selves and didnt care who actually listened in class and who didnt,she just told us the lecture and thats it.And on the first test 26 of 30 of us got the worst grade (1) and the 4 guys were taking private lessons.
Pe***************:
One extremely important aspect of the presence of the teacher that (imo) is missing from the heartwarming enumeration starting at 5:53, is that of listening to the students. One learns far more by trying to explain something than by listening to several explanations.

From my experience, I feel like people learn more outside of the classroom once they find that thing they are passionate about. By the time I hit college, I had already learned a ton about filmmaking from all sorts of YouTube channels and online courses and many books that I felt my actual college classes about filmmaking were almost a waste of time. That being said, the teachers themselves were wonderful people who were incredibly encouraging. The information they taught may have been slightly outdated or irrelevant, but their hearts were in the right place. Even though I didn't really learn any new information in those classes, it was still a good experience.

I think we also have to differentiate between learning and memorizing. Learning a physics concept and the ability to develop an intuition about it probably would be best done in a social setting with peers and demonstrations. On the other hand, learning a chain of steps for organic chemistry is rote memorization where a social setting may not help. Technology can help substitute teachers when it comes to things that need memorizing, allowing teachers to better focus on their role in the classroom.

I have been teaching for 48 years & what past students have always said about me was: Thank you for caring about me, for making me feel important, for making me feel special, getting me excited, motivated & inspired, about what you were teaching. How I was always enthusiastic & excited about what I was teaching, & how I took an INTEREST in them. One student I taught thanked me for giving him a condolence card when his dog got run over it made him want to do the best he could do in my class because I gave him my personal time to buy the card and then to write words that helped ease the pain of his loss. It's because of all of the above that I believe technology will never take over from teachers. However, technology used in conjunction with the good teacher's (as outlined above) teaching a big fat YES. At 73 I am continually developing my expertise with technology so I can, where appropriate, incorporate with my teaching. I am so excited about teaching next year in my 74th year & 49th year of teaching in this wonderful and rewarding profession.

Actually I do learn about so many stuffs from Youtube. Given the fact that I live in developing country, just makes it so much better to use this platform as a way to gain knowledge from people all around the world without having to pay a single penny.

I think the "Experts being radioed into a classroom" idea has real merit, we're just not implementing it correctly. Why make teachers give the same lecture over and over, when we could have a few of the world's best teachers do it almost perfectly, once?
Get all the kids to watch the lecture in their own time, or give them time to do it, but let them do it ALONE, so they can pause and rewind the video when they miss something or need to hear it again. Have them take notes on whatever they just couldn't understand.
Finally, have the students meet in the classroom with the teacher, and have a big open discussion about the lecture. Direct communication between the students and teacher, and the teacher can clear up all the misunderstandings, and they can all have a merry old time.
Pa********:
Education is a method, everything else are tools for that method, and since education is about people, it will always be about how the person is educated. The method must always keep the people as the focus.
Wi************:
Ok, so what's new and earthshattering here? This is Dewey and Montessori and Papert and Sarason and Holt and many others without the references.
The bigger issue I have here is that it says nothing about transferring the agency of learning to the learner. All sticky learning is intrinsically motivated. We may "learn" something for a short time for a transient reward (a passing test score, for example.) But what sticks with us is the stuff we wanted to learn more about, after the class has ended.
Here's what will transform education: Giving learners a greater freedom to learn. Moving the focus of schooling away from curriculum and knowledge that we decide is important (which is now everywhere) to the process of learning. Moving our emphasis away from student as product toward student as ongoing, master learner who can make use of everything that's now available to her.
The huge promise of technology will only be realized when we situate our discussions around it in the context of learning and increasing student autonomy and agency. As long as we see oursleves as the arbiters of what will be learned, when and how, the "revolution" will never take place.
Ro********:
There are teachers in this world that doesn't care about if the student is learning or not, they think being a teacher is just being in a class room and talk for 1 hour and leave. They think whether or not a student fail or succeed is up to the student to take in the information that is taught in class and not how the lesson is taught.

Interesting, I did an a MOOC course on Electricity and Magnetism and learnt so much. The fact there were real tests, homework, real classmates and feedback made it very personal despite I was 1000's of miles away from MIT. I would say it was just as involving as I was going to lectures on my university degrees. The really great thing with MOOC is you can always learn, not just for the few years you are at university.
Da************:
If there is no significant difference, it seems to me we can safely get rid of the "not good" teachers. Keep the good ones but replace the lackluster teachers with video and animation.
Massive cost savings and the kids are only going to remember the good teachers anyway. :-)

We've got smartboards at school and honestly I don't quite get the point. It's exactly the same thing as a classic whiteboard except electronic.
Ul*************:
" [...]Luckily the fundamental role of a teacher is not to deliver information. It is to guide the social process of learning. The job of a teacher is to inspire, to challenge, to excite their students to want to learn. Yes, they also do explain and demonstrate and show things, but fundamentally that is beside the point. The most important thing a teacher does, is to make every student feel like they are important, to make them feel accountable for doing the work of learning. "
I love this quote!

Nice video, I wish faculties in India would understand what you are stating. Here a teachers job is to give notes and make sure every student passes. Literacy should be treated equally with creativity. Which lacks a lot.

I had a math teacher in 11th grade who was the only real teacher I have ever had. Every math teacher I always have, I ask them, "Why do I need to know this stuff I am never going to use it?" but he was the only one who gave me a true and inspiring answer, he said "I don't care if you learn what 2+2= I care about you understanding the process of problem solving." Every other teacher just said, because it is a math class and you have to learn it. This teachers name was Brian Meyer and was by far the best teacher I have ever had. I learned so much in his class because he didn't teach what 2+2 was, he taught how to solve these problems and made sure we understood it. If one student didn't understand it, he would teach that kid either another way or help him/her step by step of how to solve it. He was an amazing teacher and I will definitely remember him forever, he definitely inspired me to not just learn facts but dive deeper and actually understand them.
JK****:
Couldn't agree more, I think from my school experience I was constantly annoyed and frustrated at school by my teachers because a good number didn't really care they were just there to get paid and it was just a job to them. Some tried to inspire but were constrained by exam boards. I can't tell you the number of times I heard "That's true but we're not going into it because it's not on the exam". I can only go off England because my experience of education so far has just been here but I'll use my example. When I was 11 I went to the best school in the area and I was put in the middle group set which was given the letter F and we were always told H was the top set for the most intelligent kids. So from day 1 you're given a catagory of what they say you're capable of, this comes down to what exams you're entered into and what grades you'll achieve. So I had some teachers tell me I'd not be going to college (here we go to college at 16 then University at 18-19) and one in particular told me I'd never amount to much and several when I asked about University told me I'd never make it there but other students in the top set would go. So I made it to college and there it was the same again the "It's not on the exam paper" answer and again the frustration and annoyance set in, again told I'd not go to university and I'd not get to do what I wanted to do and again I felt I had to start to accept that. So after college I made it to university and I did my degree in Biomedical Sciences and this is where the change occured, because I was not once told at university "It's not on the exam" or not to explore a particular idea I was always encouraged to do so and from there I went from strength to strength, finished by degree with one of the highest marks attainable and now I'm all lined up to do a masters with ties to a PhD afterwards. I often wonder what might have happened if I had a teacher to encourage me along through school and in college to push me that little bit and tell me to go and explore my ideas and go forward, to have open discussions in class rather than "the text book says, it will be on the exam" I think that could make all the difference in the world.

I'm a retired physicist-engineer. I'm a lifelong learner and I've done industrial design of electronics and taught electronics in the classroom setting to novice would-be technicians. I've mastered countless other physical and mental skills as well, from music to medical technician. I recall when I was four or five wanting to be a scientist when I barely knew what to call it. Everything I saw I remembered and it all looked obvious to me. When I went to school I always seemed to learn everything shown to me first time, and never had to be shown again. This while I saw other kids struggling around me. I noted that while I always believed I could learn anything, and that excited me, that they didn't believe that about themselves, and were consequently uninterested, except to get teachers and parents off their backs. This continued into high school and so on. There were always a small number for whom science was all they ever wanted to do, and the rest who never seemed to know what they wanted to do in life except find a way to keep people in authority from bothering them to learn and find a way to get rich quick so they didn't have to learn anything. Scientists are people who would do science even if they couldn't find a way to be paid for it. They approach everything in life as an experiment and it fascinates them. They can't picture doing without that in their life, even if they had to do it for free. The rest seem to live on the outside of things, and they can't figure out what to do with themselves and try to find happiness with formulaic antidotes to boredom, sports, marriage, family, parties, and other distractions that bored people like me. And if you try to teach them things they can't remember them for more than five minutes. These are the people who are always calling their friends up to "fix" their computer when they screw it up. These are the folks who get gypped by their mechanic because they never bothered to find out how engines work or what is what in gasoline vehicles. They seem quite sad to me, really, they have NO confidence that they can learn, and that lack dates back to before they even went to school. I'm not sure if it comes from the way their parents talked to them, or didn't, or the way they first apprehended the tiniest lessons in the way the world works not long after birth. My impression is that it is a fool's errand to try to teach these folks, they will not learn, they have a mental block against it, and no strategy, no new teaching medium, or any such new method will enable them to believe they can learn. And of course people lose interest in things that totally stymie them. I am beginning to believe this may be inherited, and that it may have something to do with the complement of genes and their behaviors which we inherited from our forebears, and the distribution of some very special genetic features in a small percentage of the population. Whatever it is, it is inherited unevenly throughout the human population, and there appears to be some Gaussian distribution of these abilities in our population genome that will ever prevent many people from achieving that kind of facility with ideas. As an inveterate teacher I hate that thought, but as I grow older it seems more and more to be the obvious reason why we struggle in vain to teach many or most students.
