Have you guys seen this? Teachers are using Daft Punk’s song Harder Better Faster Stronger to teach kids English.
They aren’t the only ones to use this song for education, but it’s amazing how music can be an educational tool for language. You can even see what the teacher did to educate the kids:
“I mapped out the seats/words, so after they sat according to the seating chart (attached), we read the lyrics off a lyrics site. Everyone read them together, slowly and then sped up while moving their word signs.”
What other ways are teachers using compelling media to teach kids? One of my favorites is when teachers allow kids to watch events in real time. When September 11th happened, I remember my history class wheeled in a TV and we watched reports about what was happening. I imagine (in that instance), it was largely out of immense curiosity on the teacher’s part too, but I still appreciated it.
Can you think of any time when a teacher used creativity to educate?
