WEBVTT

00:00:09.369 --> 00:00:12.324
哈囉，我叫安德森先生

00:00:12.324 --> 00:00:15.406
而我的教室是個電腦遊戲

00:00:15.867 --> 00:00:18.674
我想不出有什麼開場，會比以下的更好

00:00:18.674 --> 00:00:21.244
愛麗絲掉到一個兔子洞中

00:00:21.244 --> 00:00:23.590
然後她找到了一個瓶子

00:00:23.590 --> 00:00:26.612
瓶子上簡單的寫著「喝我」

00:00:26.750 --> 00:00:30.124
我是個老師，我想嘗試創造出類似的環境

00:00:30.124 --> 00:00:33.410
所以我就把一台電腦放在教室裡

00:00:33.410 --> 00:00:38.023
然後我把憤怒鳥打開，並且在電腦旁放紙牌

00:00:38.023 --> 00:00:40.240
紙牌上簡單的寫著「去玩」

00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:41.756
我就走開了

00:00:41.756 --> 00:00:43.607
但我想知道會發生什麼事

00:00:43.607 --> 00:00:45.942
所以我把筆電的攝影機打開

00:00:45.942 --> 00:00:48.975
於是我就得到這段班上孩子的影片

00:00:48.975 --> 00:00:50.758
那...你們想看嗎？

00:00:50.758 --> 00:00:54.797
[群眾：要！]
要...好像你們有其他選擇，哈

00:01:05.997 --> 00:01:07.808
我好喜歡他們交換玩的樣子

00:01:09.208 --> 00:01:11.725
我也好喜歡傑克森眼中

00:01:11.725 --> 00:01:14.056
如果你仔細觀察

00:01:18.103 --> 00:01:19.923
太好了！

00:01:19.923 --> 00:01:21.523
成功！

00:01:21.523 --> 00:01:26.291
So that look at his eyes, that look of learning

00:01:26.291 --> 00:01:28.857
try something new and failing and try something new again

00:01:28.857 --> 00:01:32.208
is something we inspired to see in the eyes of our kids

00:01:32.208 --> 00:01:33.725
we don't do that

00:01:33.725 --> 00:01:35.859
a lot of the time it's glazed over look

00:01:35.859 --> 00:01:42.340
and so I want to try to apply some of these dynamics into my classroom

00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:43.876
so I grew up in 1980s

00:01:43.876 --> 00:01:47.157
playing video games, and these video games taught me lessons

00:01:47.157 --> 00:01:49.125
that we could apply in schools today

00:01:49.125 --> 00:01:52.773
the first thing I learned, is the video games are fun

00:01:52.773 --> 00:01:54.757
and school should be fun as well

00:01:54.757 --> 00:01:58.973
unfortunately, most kids wouldn't say the school day is fun

00:01:58.973 --> 00:02:02.741
however there are elements of school that all students love

00:02:02.741 --> 00:02:05.725
they love seeing their friends, and they love learning

00:02:05.725 --> 00:02:10.042
unfortunately they spend most of the day, just passively sitting down in front

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:10.042 --> 00:02:12.424
Sitting, listening to a teacher lecture

00:02:12.424 --> 00:02:14.291
so I think school should be fun

00:02:14.291 --> 00:02:17.407
second thing I learned, is that failure is OK

00:02:17.407 --> 00:02:23.141
is it takes you 8 times to clear the third elevator stage in donkey kong, that's OK

00:02:23.141 --> 00:02:27.357
failure is simply part of a learning process

00:02:27.357 --> 00:02:30.924
however, in schools, we tend to stigmatized failure

00:02:30.924 --> 00:02:33.574
you don't take a quiz over and over and over agian

00:02:33.574 --> 00:02:35.957
until you finally pass it

00:02:35.957 --> 00:02:38.141
in fact, failure individuals

00:02:38.141 --> 00:02:41.157
right now, failure in schools is highly stigmatized.

00:02:41.157 --> 00:02:43.425
so I think we need to send a message that failure is OK!

00:02:43.425 --> 00:02:47.057
The third thing I learned is the importance of leveling

00:02:47.057 --> 00:02:51.208
This could be applied in schools in two ways

00:02:51.208 --> 00:02:52.792
When a teacher decides to move in a specific pace

00:02:52.792 --> 00:02:54.807
that's ok for some of the students in their class

00:02:54.807 --> 00:02:57.842
but some of the students are automatically to be bored

00:02:57.842 --> 00:03:01.542
some of the students are quickly gonna be confused

00:03:01.542 --> 00:03:06.508
so I think students should be able to move on their own pace through mastery system

00:03:06.508 --> 00:03:09.007
where they master a level and they can move on to the next one

00:03:09.007 --> 00:03:11.423
they also should be able to level up

00:03:11.423 --> 00:03:14.796
becoming more powerful as they learn new material in the class

00:03:14.796 --> 00:03:21.457
I also think that, we give the wrong lecture at the beginning of the year

00:03:21.457 --> 00:03:24.007
as I said the lecture at the beginning of the year, I would say,

00:03:24.007 --> 00:03:34.256
You all have an A, from this point forward, you will fall spitefully, until eventually you land your final grade

00:03:34.256 --> 00:03:38.141
no game will ever be designed this way

00:03:38.141 --> 00:03:41.125
so one of the great thing to be a great teacher

00:03:41.125 --> 00:03:42.714
is you have a summer break

00:03:42.714 --> 00:03:48.881
Summer break is great because you get a break from school, but you also can reinvent your class

00:03:48.881 --> 00:03:51.755
make it something that's never been before

00:03:51.755 --> 00:03:57.544
if you try to do that during the year, if you try to make it radical changes, kids will just simply be confused

00:03:57.544 --> 00:04:01.959
but if you change during the summer, you make huge swiping change in your class

00:04:01.959 --> 00:04:03.972
the kids will never know what hit them

00:04:03.972 --> 00:04:11.406
this was my dream, I wanted to reinvent my class as a video game

00:04:11.406 --> 00:04:18.588
but i didn't want kids just sit in front, and watch the video game like Oregon Trail where the world is in common Sandiego

00:04:18.588 --> 00:04:23.288
I want to take them in most compelling elements of gaming, then applied in the classroom

00:04:23.288 --> 00:04:28.605
this took a lot of work, so I created a class, it's called "Biohazard 5"

00:04:28.605 --> 00:04:32.289
It's got narrator, got the narrative, all the kids come together there

00:04:32.289 --> 00:04:37.011
I've created about 150 podcast that take them through the lecture

00:04:37.011 --> 00:04:39.844
and so when they get that point, they get kind of learned

00:04:39.844 --> 00:04:47.562
I have all the special activities in class, that kids can applied the material that we're learning in the real world

00:04:47.562 --> 00:04:52.328
I have a bunch of inquiry labs, this one right here, is a photo of synphetheis lab

00:04:52.328 --> 00:04:54.395
you can see my students very vivid

00:04:54.395 --> 00:05:01.661
they're studying photo synthesis using little chop we cut from a leaf

00:05:01.661 --> 00:05:08.094
I've developed hundreds of questions that I have a mastery where the system, students can take quizzes over and over and over again

00:05:08.094 --> 00:05:09.728
until they finally get it

00:05:09.728 --> 00:05:15.094
I have a leveling system, so they start with zero experiencing point at the beginning of the year

00:05:15.094 --> 00:05:18.278
I borrowed this from Lee Sheldon in the University of Indiana

00:05:18.278 --> 00:05:21.195
so basically they coming on day 1

00:05:21.195 --> 00:05:24.631
I invented the button level as the primordial soup cause I teach Biology

00:05:24.631 --> 00:05:28.745
So they gain their experience point, and they can move their way up like dumble octpus,

00:05:28.745 --> 00:05:32.461
and mountain gorilla, and maybe grand master at the end

00:05:32.461 --> 00:05:35.581
I also have a leader board, so they play with the avatar

00:05:35.581 --> 00:05:38.783
and they can see how they're doing in the class

00:05:38.783 --> 00:05:40.366
how they're doing to against everybody else

00:05:40.366 --> 00:05:43.250
this is the most popular resource in the class

00:05:43.250 --> 00:05:46.065
kids are constantly logged in and see how they're stacked up

00:05:46.065 --> 00:05:49.116
I also got a piloting set that of a iPad

00:05:49.116 --> 00:05:52.450
so kids got an internet connected devices at all times

00:05:52.450 --> 00:05:55.332
Finally, the summer is over

00:05:55.332 --> 00:05:57.317
and I stood in front of the class

00:05:57.317 --> 00:05:59.901
Like this, apparently

00:05:59.901 --> 00:06:03.916
(laugh) and I said

00:06:03.916 --> 00:06:08.202
Hello, my name is Mr. Anderson

00:06:08.202 --> 00:06:12.484
and my class is a video game, so what I want you to do

00:06:12.484 --> 00:06:13.967
is grab an iPad

00:06:13.967 --> 00:06:16.484
I want you to logging into Biohazard 5

00:06:16.484 --> 00:06:19.651
I want you to watch a video, I want you to do some reading

00:06:19.651 --> 00:06:22.565
I want you to take a quiz, and head off the class

00:06:22.565 --> 00:06:29.749
now if I have done this with my students' parents, that would be the most frustrating day of my life

00:06:29.749 --> 00:06:33.101
but the kids grew up with the technology

00:06:33.101 --> 00:06:36.134
and the technology today simply works

00:06:36.134 --> 00:06:38.836
so they were headed off on their own

00:06:38.836 --> 00:06:41.734
So my class, is a learning classroom

00:06:41.734 --> 00:06:47.450
if you come in, you'll find the kids are reading, watching videos, applying,

00:06:47.450 --> 00:06:53.233
doing special activities, trying to solve challenges, working together or working alone

00:06:53.233 --> 00:06:58.284
so it's really need at the teacher come

00:06:58.284 --> 00:07:00.967
we were just talking in the half way of the class

00:07:00.967 --> 00:07:05.583
he said " well you created is like a shop class" cause he was a shop teacher once

00:07:05.583 --> 00:07:06.867
he said

00:07:06.867 --> 00:07:10.101
the shop teacher, you teach them some skills and the kids can apply that

00:07:10.101 --> 00:07:12.199
so it's like that

00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.217
I would love to keep telling you how great it is

00:07:15.217 --> 00:07:18.784
how the test score seem to be going up

00:07:18.784 --> 00:07:21.999
and how the kids learning how to learn independently

00:07:21.999 --> 00:07:24.532
but I am a science teacher

00:07:24.538 --> 00:07:26.083
and that's not what get us excited

00:07:26.083 --> 00:07:29.029
in science, what gets us excited

00:07:29.029 --> 00:07:31.639
is discovering something new

00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.872
so I wanna talk about 3 ways that I failed

00:07:35.872 --> 00:07:37.306
Number 1

00:07:37.306 --> 00:07:39.773
a conventional classroom is like a school bus

00:07:39.773 --> 00:07:43.523
where all the students were all logged in they just get on

00:07:43.523 --> 00:07:44.956
and the teacher is like the bus driver

00:07:44.956 --> 00:07:47.555
and it drives from point A to point B

00:07:47.555 --> 00:07:49.071
you can make sure that all the students get there

00:07:49.071 --> 00:07:52.256
so what I have done is like I get each of them

00:07:52.256 --> 00:07:55.556
a brand new car, keys, and I said "Drive"

00:07:55.556 --> 00:07:57.838
so some of them stalled out

00:07:57.838 --> 00:08:00.191
and some of them raced ahead

00:08:00.191 --> 00:08:02.356
and some of them drove right into a wall

00:08:02.356 --> 00:08:06.172
so I need to get them more scaffolding next year

00:08:06.172 --> 00:08:08.906
next thing I learned is the importance of reading

00:08:08.906 --> 00:08:13.372
kids struggled with reading when you make your class independant

00:08:13.372 --> 00:08:17.255
and I should've seen this coming because this is the biggest indicator of success

00:08:17.255 --> 00:08:24.056
and I think the reason I didn't see it coming is that I never stopped talking, because that's what good teachers do

00:08:24.056 --> 00:08:29.172
we read the book, and then we come out with really good examples

00:08:29.172 --> 00:08:31.524
then we present it in a really dynamic way

00:08:31.524 --> 00:08:33.189
and the kids can just sit there

00:08:33.189 --> 00:08:35.072
and then they can learn it

00:08:35.072 --> 00:08:37.738
why would they want to read the book? we read it for them

00:08:37.738 --> 00:08:40.023
so when I forced them to read the book

00:08:40.023 --> 00:08:42.507
a lot of them struggled and we have to work with that

00:08:42.507 --> 00:08:46.821
the last thing I learned, is that we're not Vulcans

00:08:46.821 --> 00:08:55.054
In the most recent star trek movie, young Spock sits in a little module and he surrounded by computer screens

00:08:55.054 --> 00:09:00.117
and the computer keeps throwing questions at him, and philosophy, and relativity

00:09:00.117 --> 00:09:03.250
and that's his school day, just sits in a module like that

00:09:03.250 --> 00:09:10.298
so a lot of people think they can change education by somehow use videos or automating the learning process

00:09:10.298 --> 00:09:14.917
that sucks, who would want to be at a school like that?

00:09:14.917 --> 00:09:17.148
kids are coming to school to be social

00:09:17.148 --> 00:09:21.932
so I add elements of social learning at the class to make it more compelling

00:09:21.932 --> 00:09:26.816
This is a TED talk, all the good TED talks always end with a call to action

00:09:26.816 --> 00:09:28.634
so what can you do?

00:09:28.634 --> 00:09:35.098
I think schools need to move from a passive teacher-centered learning environment

00:09:35.098 --> 00:09:38.466
to an active student centered environment

00:09:38.466 --> 00:09:39.965
that's what I did

00:09:39.965 --> 00:09:42.448
I was off to the side now, there's a mentor in the class

00:09:42.448 --> 00:09:43.849
so how do we do that?

00:09:43.849 --> 00:09:48.465
If you are a student, you get feedback to your teachers, everything I do in my class all I got

00:09:48.465 --> 00:09:52.482
is a result of feedback I got from my students

00:09:52.482 --> 00:09:58.431
what you do if you are a parent? Your write an email if you want your schools to change

00:09:58.431 --> 00:10:04.115
the only emails I get from parents are complaining about their students grades

00:10:04.115 --> 00:10:12.382
I never get "My students had an A in your class, but I have a problem with the philosophy in your class"

00:10:12.382 --> 00:10:16.598
that doesn't happen, so message you are sending to teachers

00:10:16.598 --> 00:10:19.232
is that the grade is the only thing that's important

00:10:19.232 --> 00:10:22.417
but maybe you're not a parent, and maybe you're not a student

00:10:22.417 --> 00:10:24.347
but you are human

00:10:24.347 --> 00:10:27.565
so what's the lesson? what's in the bottle?

00:10:27.565 --> 00:10:33.315
what's in there it's your passion, it's the one thing you wanna do

00:10:33.315 --> 00:10:39.464
can you figure out what my passion is? I love my family and I love teaching

00:10:39.464 --> 00:10:45.414
and if you can drink that bottle, also remembering to fail, learn

00:10:45.414 --> 00:10:50.899
and repeat the process over and over again, then I think you'll have a life worth living

00:10:50.899 --> 00:10:54.031
Thank you
