Summary

While what we learn has broadly stayed the same for years, how we learn is changing rapidly as technology advances. The rise of online educational videos is giving learners easy access to the world’s greatest thinkers and teachers. Sometimes, these teachers are not whom you would typically expect. Even so, they have shown that inspiring online educators can come from all walks of life. As the demand for quality educational video increases, popular YouTube channels like CrashCourse, Smart Girls, and Ted-Ed have grown to millions of views and subscribers. Meanwhile, the brains behind them -- like John Green, Amy Poehler & Meredith Walker, and Logan Smalley -- are becoming the next generation of educational stars, with a talent for explaining tough concepts in compelling ways, and the passion and drive to assemble a global classroom of students. Learn how YouTube and some of its top partners are changing education, and how you can join them!
