TED talks can range from informative lectures to absurd satire. But the most TED thing ever has to be this third graderās talk on why video games should, like, totally be in classrooms.
In aTEDxUniversityofStThomas talk called āIndividualization, failure and funā, third grader Cordell Steiner makes some valid points about why classrooms should have more interactive games. It is also super cute to watch. Itās a bit like having a tiny Steve Jobs in a little turtleneck come out to a round of applause and say āI think we need to pivot on this whole idea of candy for breakfastā. The talk is also a real de-ja-vu moment for anyone who was the way-too-smart kid that tried desperately to argue that, āno, video games can be a force of good.ā I definitely was, and Iām guessing a lot of you were too.
Keep doing what youāre doing, Cordell. I think youāre going places.
