    Hi. TED-Ed (and many of the students & teachers we work with) definitely consider KZread a legitimate edu tool. It's an open platform, so brilliant people/groups can upload brilliant ideas at any moment. And once uploaded, those ideas can be understood, improved upon, etc. As for replacing lecture...hmmmm...not sure it's an "either/or" scenario. Online lecture is good for some things. Class experience is good for some things, too. Perhaps it's all about the best tool for the job at hand?

    It holds because, what you say is true. I'm just a real specific focused person and I keep going back to media controlled by what the owners want to gamble with and what they believe will help ratings.

    @James Allen Yeah I know, it's unfortunate actually. But those kind of things tends to run out of ideas especially when all they did was blending EVERYTHING. More or less.

    Hey TedEd I 'm curious to how you guys feel about youtube as a legitimate source of education?Many people say it's a complement to school especially for college students, but I feel that it's more than that. Theres a youtuber named Patrickjmt who is the reason why I was able to pass calculus. I actually want to watch his videos and learn from him. I want to know if you think students will ever be able to use youtube for lectures instead of going to those overly crowded uncomfortable classrooms?

    Yes, but with a new accompanying and customizable Lesson on the TED-Ed website. We'll still be posting at least 4 new educator + animator Lessons every week, but we're adding some TEDTalks on the weekends that students and teachers have identified as awesome/useful. The TEDEducation channel is part of the KZread For Schools initiative. So re-uploading makes these Talks (which might otherwise might be blocked in schools) more accessible.

    He said that "tastemakers" are part of the phenomenon. If you listen, he defines tastemaker.

    I watched this video (and had a celebratory swig of Tia-Maria) cos one of my videos has over thirty-five-thousand views. And I wonder why, cos most of my others have twenty views (or a bit more). lol My popular video is a model plane video, and maybe It's popular cos some model plane freak (who has lot's of views) has shared my video (or whatever). I have other model plane videos with only a few views. I'm a "back-door" You Tuber whom nobody knows about. But my one video is different and the views still seem to be increasing. Cos just not long ago it only had seventeen thousand views (still amazing for my channel though). Now it's more than doubled in a month or so. I have a lot of different stuff on my channel (not just model planes). In fact I didn't have any flying model plane videos until fairly recently. I had speakers, alternative housing, aircraft designs (for full size aircrafts), fake ufo, floating balloon thing, a boat interior design video (with 20 views) and joke videos (the list goes on). And if I didn't put any flying model videos on, I would still be a 200 hit You Tuber. lol So my advice is to put lots of different stuff on your channel (if you want to go viral). I'm not saying my video is viral but it's "viral" compared to the rest of my videos. lol
