Kids Teaching Kids. Eric Marcos and the Mathtrain.TV story
We learn best from our peers. And yet, our educational system still depends on us learning from people 20-50 years our senior. Not a bad idea, when people older than us know the subject really well. But, what if students can teach other students? Or even better, what if the students can learn in the process of teaching? Eric Marcos has students show up every day after class (for no extra credit!) to make math videos for their fellow students and the rest of the world. See why and how.

The language of peers notion is scarily compelling! In NZ the spirit of collaborative learning is termed Ako but this one Maori word encapsulates so much more of the spirit, cultural and emotional connection as well. These paradigms are though inherent in communities of practice, be they online or f2f
