Relationship between students and passionate teachers will remain for ages and is the foundation of good education...superb ... and I also personally do believe so..
This is why I love Interactive Media. It really should be used more in classrooms. Teachers need to be taught how to tell what technology will assist and enhance the classroom, rather than discounting all of it as the same as the worst of it. Play is fundamental to learning, and is by definition interactive, with others and the world around them. Interactive Media, including video games (of course the value ranges), is the most immersive way to learn. Rather than reject the digital world, we need to embrace what it can do and use it to our advantage. Great talk.
Incremental change might get me to a place of comfort, then I'll be asked to change again out of my comfort zone, and again, and...we either evolve and expand, or shrink trying to navigate in a world we hardly recognize. To have the human factor available should be comforting to many individuals such as myself.
BYOD (bring your own device) approach to student learning is HUGE on schools who value technology as a form of investigating, researching, and student engagement. I truly am passionate about inquiry-based learning. She highlighted this fact in such beautiful and meaningful way.
I wish teachers think like this instead of comparing students. That's the kind of school where I'm studying and it's exhausting. This is an amazing talk!
Mrs.Delzer was my teacher in 2 and I learned so much and she was and still is my fav teacher and as she would say you are A.W.U.E.S.O.M.E. Awesome awesome totally!
Thankyou madam for thinking from the other side of table...these are students...yes...we need to make changes in classroom...we all are co learner...and relationship between student and teacher is essential to be built in classroom.
More relevant now than when it was made 8 years ago. She needs to have more of these teaching videos. Her passion for teaching and her caring for her students shows.
Although I am not a mainstream teacher in a school as such but I found her conclusion is true at the core of how to make a change in a class and a change in student's life. "Class" here can be any thing, whether it is a boyscout group, a youth group, a community class of some sort... Thank you Kayla Delzer.
Straight to the point, refreshing outlook on learning that should be reconsidered by all teachers really. Old methods might be obsolete in the 21 century as student has been born into high tech world therefore they need corresponding challenges so taking away technology from themthinking it's for their own good and protection, is definitely not preparing them to face the world outside. LOved the talk, the point at the end is solid.
I want to meet you! This is what I've been trying to impart in my school!!! It's not about teacher comfort--it's about student learning! I had the opportunity to hear George Couros a year ago, and he got this ball rolling for me, too.
Interesting. Several points are excellent; however, as a teacher of 33 years and, a pioneer in some aspects of tech/STEM eduction myself, I have learned that while American schools continue to focus more on what kids want (student focus) those schools internationally that greatly outscore us in core subjects focus on (mastery) process lessons THEN build upon alternate innovation AFTER students have learned the "how to" as the masters do it and in the process teach humble respect. They focus on maximum replication of model and concepts BEFORE venturing out stumbling due to lack of critical knowledge. For years as a technology teacher trained in Intel's Teach to the Future and an Apple Classroom of Tomorrow teacher, I strive to promote the use of technology as a vital tool to complete assignments; while many educational speakers and leaders view technology as a drill and kill tool or testing kiosk with no other purpose. Many students I work with today are motivated but over-confident and stumble through learning projects at a rapid get-it-done pace. They lack a desire to listen to even suggestion missing any opportunity to pick up on an idea. They do not want to research or work through learning steps (too boring), just do it- "skip to lesson 44", check the box and say, "I'm good" with no clue as to what they are doing or how to work with others effectively. We have to balance the equation by working with students as educators, not step aside. I believe that teachers must age-appropriately relay the rationale and provide debriefing sessions and expect students to participate fully in discourse and topical research if there is any connection to be made to what they are doing. The lessons of corroborating, interdependence, listening and, continual modification (fail/success) stamina are tough lessons for today's students. Can students teach students? Absolutely! Once they understand WHAT they are doing- what is needed vs. what is not or not being domineering in group work, etc. :)
This is even more amazing when I found out that this speech made in 2015. With the COVID-19, the changes in the classroom need to be accelerating and this talk should be more paid attention.
I am all for having cellphones/technology in classrooms. However I am a strong advocate for it only being used in a responsible way. Students must receive the proper structure and system for the utilization of any technology in the classroom . Teachers must be creative but mindful of monitoring the instruction with purpose.
Yes, exactly. And I noticed there was no mention in the TED talk about what to do when students are using their phone for distractions and not staying on task. This is a huge problem. My husband has been teaching high school and while using the internet can definitely aid in the learning process, the majority of the time students are not using it for learning. There is a reason why the “cell phone hotel” or smart phone boxes are used.
Great job...It was an awesome session.... really inspiring teacher's to create classrooms child centred ....and absolutely true... what actually matter's is the passionate relationship between teachers and their students which inspires student's to learn with fun and educational activities .
I agree with almost everything in this video except students should not have cell phones at school. Instead, students can do research at home a part of their homework where they can bring that homework back to the classroom to share with peers. - Rachel
i wish more teachers were like you!!! Some schools don't even allow teachers to have this much freedom in their curriculums. You should go into consultating all over the country on changing the design and dynamics of classrooms :-)
You are amazing Kayla. I love that you are bringing light to this. It infuriates me that there are still so many educators who are unwilling to embrace change and meet the times where they are.- Social media and tech training needs to be part of professional development, implemented throughout each school district, and should be mandated for all. It's RIDICULOUS that in some classrooms in my school district the teachers have class blogs, websites, and use and teach tech in the classrooms, while right in the next room over, it's a scene from Bedrock.
Ask educators today whether cell phones are helpful or hurtful in their classrooms. I think you'll get a different response than what was expected in 2015.
According to my husband who has been teaching high school for two years, they are very hurtful. And he loves tech and is very good at it. But the students do not use their smart phones in the classroom to assist in their learning. They use them to disengage and distract from the learning.
Thank you for this positive and encouraging speech. Nice perspective on teaching learning process. Allowing students to follow their passion and making purposeful usage of technology.
I’m a graduate student in Asia, our professor shared this video to us, which posted 8 years ago. After 8 years, in 2023, do we really have changed our teaching style? Or we still keep technology out of school 😢 Education must be changed in this era of AI and meta verse!
I teach the cello, a very difficult instrument that requires calm and focus on a daily basis for many years. My students who do well are the ones who are not using technology all day long. Learning a musical instrument requires more of the brain than any other activity and there are many disadvantages of technology use that can harm the brain and the body. For children I believe it is best to severely limit its use.
MusicaAngela 😳 In what way did Kayla indicate that technology would be useful when learning any musical instrument? I missed any such reference! May I ask whether you use cds or streaming to demonstrate cello music . . . via aspects of technology?
Amber Brouillard: Also, paper notes laid out on the table are accessible simultaneously in a way that on-screen documents are currently not. Moreover, paper doesn’t have software errors or die when there’s a low battery.
teachers with the autonomy, democracy, money, and independence can do this. Teachers chained to political research political chains political threats cannot.
I thought about becoming a teacher but i avoided it because i didn't want the school board telling me how to teach and conduct a classroom . I would be an amazing teacher i know it in my heart but only it my way.
We (I) have done all those things you suggest-the global hangouts with high school students and all the different ways to assess students-amazing, engaging, and gamechanging on both! But no freaking cell phones in high school students' back pockets!
One of the best TedTalks I have watched yet. Very very good! I took so many notes and as a hopeful teacher, I want to incorporate the things she discussed into my own classroom. Very well done, love this video.
Curious about the app that Molina used in the classroom.... I am going back to teaching after an 18 year hiatus and I am definitely going to be learning with the kids. I would love to explore any suggestions that anyone is willing to send me.
Understand that we shoud give digital devices to our kids to explore but then we how do we draw the fine balance as educators we need to complete the syllabus and yet ensure that kids do not get carried away with tech..that is indeed challenging.
Teachers should adjust their comfort level to match with the current circumstances in order to cope with student aspirations and technology implementation
Question, if any student fails an sol or graduation required class, are there alternative classes or tests other than retakes so the student can still graduate on time?
"If it's right for kids, it's right !?" What is this suppose to mean ? children don't always know what's right from wrong, it's our duty to teach them what's right. And children will ultimately learn how to use google, youtube and other search engines without the need to teach them, it'll become their everyday life usage. My mom knew nothing about computers until recently and now she knows how to search in google and youtube.
Same here, I agree with technology use in schools, but why does technology have to become the crutch for good teaching instruction? Project Based Learning is very good as well, and at this point in time Technology will always be a necessary component to all aspects of learning. But what happens when children need to use their own brains without the aide of technology????
I interpret that quote "If it's right for kids, it's right !?" in the realm of technology that Kayla is discussing. Young students grew up with technology and can navigate them much easier than a teacher, that didn't grow up with it, can. So if the educational technology is successful with the students, then it's worth pursuing even if the teacher is not comfortable with the technology. I don't see it as a moral question of right from wrong, I see it as a tool that's right for the students.
Children don't learn from people they don't like, so releasing the control and giving power to students builds trusting relationships and opens the door to learning.
Relationship between students and passionate teachers will remain for ages and is the foundation of good education...superb ... and I also personally do believe so..
Relationship between teacher and a passionate teacher...the foundation of successful classroom. Great.
This talk gave me chills... and hope... and inspiration as I continue to walk on my path as an educator. Thank you!
"Teachers as Learners and Students as Leaders "- a wonderful and useful discussion.
Reimagining Classrooms: Teachers as Learners and Students as Leaders by Kayla Delzer presented beautifully. Thank you very much Madam.

+Lydia Hinrichs yes I belive you were in her classroom,u r so young yet so active in youtube ! what a great impact she made on you!
U?
Kayla is freaking amazing! She is changing education one student and teacher at a time! Loved every word she said. #ygg
Truely said mam.. The best part was relationship between the students and passionate teachers will be the foundation of sucessfull classrooms
Thankyou madam for thinking from the other side of table...these are students...yes...we need to make changes in classroom...we all are co learner...and relationship between student and teacher is essential to be built in classroom.
the classroom environment is so important in facilitating teaching and learning in a proper manner.
Best talk to listen to. Teachers and pre service teachers must listen to this kind of information. It's so inspiring.
One of the best TEDx/ TED talk on education.Thank you so much.
More relevant now than when it was made 8 years ago. She needs to have more of these teaching videos. Her passion for teaching and her caring for her students shows.

Teachers and parents don't miss this video. Excellent
this is one of the best TEDx/ TED talk on education I have seen :)
For me, this is the best, along with the one about "the toxic culture of education" and "sleepy teens: a public health epidemic"
That means you have watched very less

Great to hear you kayla ! i will try my best embrace, my interns, accordingly. Thank you ! love from INDIA
I want to meet you! This is what I've been trying to impart in my school!!! It's not about teacher comfort--it's about student learning! I had the opportunity to hear George Couros a year ago, and he got this ball rolling for me, too.
This is inspiring! This was a great reminder to train one student and let that student train the others. Release the power!
Kathleen MacFarlane montessori does this. It’s nothing new.

Great job, Kayla! Awesome speech! Very motivating and inspiring. Getting ready to look at my curriculum and brainstorm some techy ideas!
A very good presentation. She explain beautifully what relation should be have in between a student and a teacher.
Great job...It was an awesome session.... really inspiring teacher's to create classrooms child centred ....and absolutely true... what actually matter's is the passionate relationship between teachers and their students which inspires student's to learn with fun and educational activities .

very nicely explain what we have to do for build our student so they can face present situation.

Fantastic! Great advice as I head towards teachers college next year.
Flexibility in imaginjng classrooms is crucial in tgese times of virtual learning
Where did you get the funding for that classroom?
Would anyone be able to let me know what app she is talking about for reading?? Or one that does the same thing perhaps. Thank you!
Some good points. Yet, cell phones are often a major distraction rather than help in the classroom. I say this from experience.
creativity is the key to educate students
A teacher 's passion can motivate students
Very useful and knowledgeable talk interesting session teachers and students motivation

teachers with the autonomy, democracy, money, and independence can do this. Teachers chained to political research political chains political threats cannot.
That's true. It's due to educational privilege, sadly. Actually, it all comes down to money.

New thoughts redefining way of teaching and dealing with students
Very refreshing video.....thank you.
what a passionate engaging brilliant courageous talk thanks Kayla
very interesting concept "Re-imagining Classrooms". specially liked yours comment "using technology for just sake of using"
Wonderfully explained the role of a teacher
Not me wanting to send this to all my teachers here in Belgium high school 😂👐
Informative talk on building teachers and student relation
Thank you
Informative and motivational session
Children don't learn from people they don't like, so releasing the control and giving power to students builds trusting relationships and opens the door to learning.
Beautiful presentation Mam. Thank you
