Active teaching, using educational technologies... excellent. I hope more teachers see this video to see how to engage the audience. I particularly like Mazur's article in Harvard Magazine about the death of the lecture.

Excellent. Great use of technology, peer learning, all that is good about learning. Learning is exciting for everyone!! The assumption that Harvard students care about learning more than students from a not so prestigious university is quite erroneous. It is equally erroneous to assume that students who are in a not so prestigious university won't care about learning as much as Harvard students. Professor Mazur makes learning exciting for all!!

Amazing the ways that he teaches ! Very interesting !

[@SmallSandInTheSea]

thanks for posting this, this presents a great teaching technique using tools and technologies, which engages students, makes them think, allowing them to come up with their own conclusions.

The correct answer is both negative and positive ions, right?

This isn't anything that hasn't been done for decades across the educational landscape.

[@omegazero5032]

Yea, because this is common

If the student has trouble with social anxiety disorder, will they gain anything from this method of teaching, or simply feel the burden of having to internally battle this problem, and learn nothing? Thus making the class a waste of time. I suspect most LD learners would want to watch a lecture, especially in this fashion, a few times, and think about it before trying to do problem solving.

+Tommy Kelly As someone who suffers quite a bit of social anxiety I only have one thing to say: "suck it up". Being able to collaborate and communicate is an essential skill. These type of environments are the time for students to dig in, cope, and overcome their anxiety issues not shrink from them. We need to drive classrooms away from the "safe space" mentality into a "growing space" mentality. Sometimes this may mean students are uncomfortable and thats okay. They need to learn to cope so they can thrive in the job market.

They need to improve GRADUALLY.

[@drd444]

Yeah. They'd need to just get on with it. The world isn't a safe space and they need to learn to cooperate with others. Best to do it in a safe environment like this and learn to break out their shell anyway.
