Mar'2011 TED talk.

• My cousins told me they preferred me on YouTube to me in-person.

• If Isaac Newton had done YouTube videos on calculus, I wouldn't have to.

• Teachers are having students "learn" by watching the videos at home, then they do their homework during classtime, so they can work together and with the teacher!

• We encourage experimentation and expect Personal Mastery. School is the opposite.
