    You remind me a presenter who bragged about himself for a third of his time. But you have good ability to laugh together with audience, which I admire!

    Misleading title... title should’ve been “professor bragging about his award”
  • @logunv
    I watched this video two times. What is the message professor? Is it that higher education is important? I agree. Is it that engaged learning is useful or not useful? Is it that you are all doing some good work at the colleges and helping students? Do we really need a TEDx talk for that? I will be grateful if you can help me understand the key message in this talk.

    Sir you have totally forgot the topic. This presentation won't help in any way to inspire teachers to teach their students
  • There is a reason why China is one of the top in the world the education table. That reason is because those that enter the universities as tutors are Intellectuals and professors that feel a responsibility to their students and their academic furtherance as they go into society,By not corrupting their minds but allowing the young mind draw it's own conclusion from the world they live in. creating codes of conduct and respect for those around them. In a competitive country where education is the most certain key to being in the work force and innovation is paramount to your security and the lifestyle you wish to lead. This is what America seems to have lost over the years. A slap dash system in it's education program where by the illiteracy rate has be come higher than before in schools, collages and universities in the American inner cities. A lack of educators initiative to teach anything other than politics and hate. Intellectuals and professors teaching anarchy and hatered, people that have never had a life outside a class room. In fact the despondent intellectual unachiever, that have no interest in their students just an easy pay cheque. These people are paid by the state to teach and guide their students, so that they have a fair chance in life to compete in the work force and fore fill their aspirations and dreams. These are the type of people that should be removed from teaching by having a closer inspection on what they are teaching and how. Teacher can only teach if they have the enthusiasm in the subject that they teach. That in turn is picked up by the student. it's the teachers job to capture the imagination of the student, and the students interests and capitalize on that. The same as it is the job of the school, collage, Academy or university to accommodate the needs of the student. You are preparing the student for going out into society and the work force. Not a base ball game.
