“Two weeks ago, I had the chance to help out one of our teachers as she worked with some 4th graders on math.  Instead of “teaching” the

students, she had each student design a lesson they could teach to the world.  They designed their presentation and used a screen capture program (…) to record their session.  We then posted the video to YouTube and now these 10 year olds are teaching

the world math lessons.  It has been motivating for these students to see how many people watch their videos.  It has also helped them to understand the topic that they presented on”.

“I’m not so much the all-knowing Oz behind the curtain that we grew up with… teachers were the holders of all knowledge and we were students, lucky to be in their presence. My students are able to see the fact that I’m a learner alongside of them and

we can learn from each other (…) I by no means profess that I’m the only one that has this knowledge, I’m the only one they can learn from, the only one who knows the right answers”
