I found this lecture to be both inspiring and educational. His quote, "wait long enough for people to impress you" is a life lesson. We all have a tendency to judge others too quickly. Also, the example he gave of how to say the same thing in a good way or a bad way demonstrated how different the results can be by our tone of voice and body language.
Interaction is a great teaching tool. Promoting class projects and having students work together in groups achieves great results. I especially agreed with letting students have control over the contents of their assignments. It allows them to use their imaginations and be creative without following a forced set of rules. His strategy of having a mentor is a great idea. Having both positive and negative feedback is a good teaching technique.
The Hello World Video was fantastic and created brilliantly by his students. The word Edutainment was another good teaching tool. The use of technology such as video games to inspire students to learn while having fun can definitely be incorporated into the classroom. This can aid student's to learn while working in groups and focusing on others.
To me, the most valuable lesson was, "to teach someone something is to make them think they are learning something else." So, while I was having fun, I learned something. Other lessons include, Loyalty is a two-way street and Never Give Up! Also, listen to feedback from others and always remember to show gratitude.
