Let's Watch Ted Talks

 
  Hello everyone,

While I was looking for helpful videos on teaching, I found a video by Chris Emdin. He is a science advocate who uses hip-hop to make better teachers.
Chris Emdin believes traditional education theory is failing students. That's why he founded Science Genius B.A.T.T.L.E.S. (Bring Attention to Transforming Teaching, Learning and Engagement in Science), which takes the techniques for self-expression and engagement used in hip-hop into the classroom. At first, it seemed weird to me. Seeing that most of the rappers are self confident and they use their body language effectively to take audience's attention, it is not impossible. Yes, it looks a little bit strange, but I think it's worth to try.
