There was an interview on one of the Knowledge Project podcast episodes last year. I was driving home from work, and it was raining, so I do not recall the exact episode. But the person mentioned that they were trying to learn drums. They found a video on YouTube that taught some specific thing they were looking for. The only issue was that there was 5 minutes of film in the beginning that had nothing to do with teaching the drums. He made the point if you had a Hollywood production team and a subject matter expert, you could make amazing online educational videos that people would actually like to watch. The closest thing I could find now is a high school history teacher making animations on YouTube called MrBettsClass. There is so much potential here to expand this. Then there is the other angle. Are there best practices we could do as a nation? Not common standards that lump everyone into one category, but actual things tailored for different types of children that could maximize their learning? I adopted this notion that every child has the potential for genius after reading the book How to Teach your Baby to Read. Its been around since the 60s. I think it comes down to a lot of one on one time with the child. You try teaching something and adapt to how they respond. Technology can only help so much in this regard. You have to be a parent that is invested in helping your child.
