vue - Emily Pilloton: Teaching design for change
http://www.ted.com Designer Emily Pilloton moved to rural Bertie County, in North Carolina, to engage in a bold experiment of design-led community transformation. She's teaching a design-build class called Studio H that engages high schoolers' minds and bodies while bringing smart design and new opportunities to the poorest county in the state.

My freakish brother managed to make the hottest pole dancer I've seen in my life fall in love with him because he used the Cupid Love System (Google it). It's bad but I wish I found myself joyful for him but I dream a phenomenal person would fall for me. I am really envious. Does that make me a terrible person?

Life sucks. My cousin has started dating a stunning lady simply because 60 days ago he signed up to an internet site named Master Attraction (Google it if you want to learn more.) I'm so envious because I want to just fall in love too. Why is it so hard? I'm going to check out this Jake Ayres guy's stuff and discover if it might help somebody like me. Crazy point is, he used to have NO success with girls. How do you change that fast? His girl's a fucking model...

Looked into this to see how the project was progressing. WOW this was a sham!!!! This program squandered all of the funding in a year, the speaker left "teaching" in Bertie for Berkley and Dr.Z resigned and works in Texas now. Also they failed to mention anything about the numerous other organizations and programs that were already in place in Bertie. Including a college prep program magnet school, and Teach For America has been down there for years. SHAM

If that's what you got out of this video I'd guess your own education was sorely lacking. Perhaps you could have used a little more physical engagement with some worn-out tires.
-
i'd definitely have sex with this girl
-
@6:20 notice how close this is to another acronym you know? That wasn't by chance.
-
@theprofits13 It's a pet peeve.

kids learning multiplication in a playground filled with worn-out tires... I'm sure they'll be competing on the international stage one day...................................

I liked this a lot. Almost made me wanna go back to school... almost :P

@mmballa And averagely the default usage in speaking is to call them "African American" in courts and news and other formal areas, while most of the Black population prefers to be called black or just that no one is labeled by their skin color.
-
@mmballa And what about the side of white heritage? Should they not be called European-African-American? Or Anglo-African-American? Is it unneeded for there to be a European show of respect because Africa needs it? What is the requirement for having a continent in your label?
-
wow, if you just look past the race comments she made (which i know she had no bad intentions of), this talk is amazing
-
@SayChickpeas that's a separate issue, tutoring. I'm not against that. I am against a teacher standing infront of the room for an hour talking to him or herself. I went through many, many, years of it.

@TheDentist27 The value of being engaged in learning vastly dwarfs the value of any money paid for achievement. Lectures are not an engaging learning style for young people, recorded lectures even less so. Hands-on involvement and practical applications of principals nurture the playful spirit which young people thrive upon. That cannot be replaced by a check. This TED talk is a great example of how to help youth be invested in their own achievements by adding value to their communities.
-
@andresico2 I completely agree.
-
@Aresftfun there's still a need for people to distinguish others based not only on physical traits but also on color. Since some people think Black isn't p.c, then they use African American, even when the person isn't of African descent. I think it's pathetic that we still find the need to distinguish between humans, and I don't think there's a problem describing someone as "black", or as "red-headed" because those physically describe a person. African-american doesn't help me much.
-
@Aresftfun African-American is a name, not a description.
-
@Aresftfun she should have just called em all niggas
