This video made me even more excited to become a teacher!!! I even got teary eyed
We had to do a horrible science project in grade 10 - 15 years of age. We had to drop things and conclude about whether things fall at different speeds based on mass or something. It was awful. I didn't enjoy it any better than typical science instruction such as experiments run in class. I know there's a Bunsen Burner and flame and hole on it. There's acidic and basic I think it's a scale from alkaline to acidic: low pH to higher pH. There was also litmus paper which is where you get the term litmus test. I think it goes blue perhaps or purple. Idk.
This is beautiful.

Im Probably gonna put things like my memories
This is my best video l have watched this year so motivating l pray and hope when the right time comes l surely will make it💏👌
Glad it resonated!
is being a divergent thinker better???
Both are necessary, actually. But in a world of AI, divergent thinking has grown more important.
I had to watch this for school XD. Gotta get back to work now

good video
AI will become super intelligent, and then you will not be able to understand it, even though it understands you. Basically what is happening now according to human eval tests,
Looking back at this now, I am laughing. Misguided and misinformed in computer science. AI will surpass all human abilities in understanding other humans. It will and already is personalized. The author also got wrong the idea of how AI works. It is not very fact based, and goes off opinion without any knowledge of computational AI futures. AI will replace humas teachers in the private sector first, and public organizationns will just take longer.

Thank you sir
The content is excellent but the background music is louder than the narrator voice
Thank you. Thank you.
Glad it resonated!
Fell in love with the message you are passing! Thanks a million.
Thanks for the kind words!
This actually made me cry. Thank you so much for this and thank you so much to the teacher that gave it to you.
I'm glad it resonated!
Thank you.

From a teacher starting his 22 year of teaching, thank you John.
Thank you for this video. The information was succinct and helpful.
I currently have a fixed mindset every time I get a B+ I think it’s a failure
Yes this video tells that where we are now a days , we have to seen so many changes in schools colleges etc
Hi, Maggie! I like that you added this video to your playlist because I often wonder how and to what extent schools will incorporate AI chatbots. I enjoyed hearing the information in this video as well as viewing the animations. I was very engaged during the video!
Love this video but especially the comments. I wanted to be either a Math Teacher or a Software Engineer. I chose Software Engineer and got scared at all of the AI innovation. I heard one person lost their job to an AI. I started to think maybe I should have taken the educational path. Seeing all the comments here made me realize that this AI talk is mostly hype. A lot of money was put into AI during c0vid and investors want their return on investments. Overhype is the only way to achieve this. If AI could take any of our jobs it would have by now.
I can also suggest "Prey World" by Alexander Merow. A very interesting dystopian novel series about a future New World Order tyranny
I loved the book but found it a bit to verbose, to lengthy as it keeps repeating the same basic idea. This video captures this idea perfectly in 2 minutes. So, read the book if you have the time. The repetition in the book will make sure that the message sticks. But, watch this movie, or show it to friends and colleagues to share the idea!

Awesome video. Your mindset influences everything about a person and determines whether or not your abilities are improving.

Great, concise intro to Bloom's Taxonomy-thanks! I just made a similar video myself, but I wish I had delved more into criticisms. I only touched on the issues with the classic model’s hierarchy.
