YouTube Is Investing $20 Million In Educational Content, Creators (theverge.com)

Posted by BeauHD on Monday October 22, 2018 @02:20PM from the throwing-money-against-the-wall-and-seeing-if-it-sticks dept.

YouTube is creating a new Learning Fund program where it will invest $20 million toward education content. The announcement was made today by Malik Ducard, global head of learning. The Verge reports: Channels like TED-Ed, dedicated to educational Ted Talks, and Hank and John Green's Crash Course have already secured additional funding, according to YouTube's blog post. The company plans to invest in content from independent creators, like the Green brothers, as well as traditional news sources and educational organizations to broaden its content offering.

YouTube's Learning Fund has a nice ring to it, but it isn't a philanthropic charity. An FAQ about the program states that "successful applicants must enter into a written agreement with YouTube. This agreement will contain more details about required deliverables, payment timelines, and other terms and conditions." Creators must maintain a minimum of 25,000 subscribers. Those applying to the program also don't need to have a degree or proper certification in their field, "but successful applicants will be required to demonstrate that they have expertise and/or that the content they produce is verified by an expert in the field."

The amount of feel-good but meaningless edu-babble, outdated & wrong theories, i.e. They contradict current knowledge in neurosci, cogsci, & Ed research, & just plain edu-quackery that TED Talks put out should have them banned from any education system.
  For example, Sir Ken Robinson has given 3 TED Talks. He talks about creativity as if it's a generic skill (It isn't), claims that schools kill creativity (They don't), & offers no concrete, falsifiable alternatives to current educational practices. In fact, he isn't an expert in education at all; he did his PhD in drama studies & knows little about the science of learning & teaching. If he did, he wouldn't spout the feel-good nonsense that he does.

  Here's an example of a TED-Ed talk, "The benefits of a bilingual brain - Mia Nacamulli": https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how...
  Left/right hemisphere dominance in the brain is a myth. We use all of the brain all of the time. Different areas are associated with particular tasks but each region is almost always associated with more than one task, e.g. Broca's area is famously associated with grammar, but also with action recognition & gestures.
  Critical period hypothesis is controversial & probably not true, except for accents.
  Bilingualism doesn't prevent the onset of Alzheimer's, it's just that the symptoms are less apparent in bilingual patients because they compensate for the effects better.
  Bilingualism is no more cognitively beneficial than exercise, playing board games, or socialising, i.e. there's nothing special about bilingualism.
  And they managed to pack those errors and more into just 5 minutes.

  No one said that your program did that only that you have stated that hosts does port filtering. You however have lied about people saying that but you just can't stop lying since you have been caught. Links were provided showing you saying that hosts does port filtering. You are just pissed that your lies are being exposed. You keep trying to say people put words in your mouth when in reality it is you twisting things around in a failed attempt to make yourself look better than you are. Also I'm not c6gunner you obsessed loon. Just like when arth1 made you look like a fool when he pointed out how it is trivial to get around all your efforts with a handful of lines of java script served locally but the same could be done just as easily server side too. Just because you lack the mental facilities to follow a discussion without going full retard doesn't mean everyone else does too.

SPH = Seek Professional Help
Your posts are becoming angrier and less coherent with time. I am being 100% honest when I say that I believe you're becoming increasingly deranged. Although I have my issues with you, I don't want to be responsible for pushing you over the edge, where you end up harming someone else or yourself. For that reason, I'm going to stop responding to you. If you feel the need to gloat over this and claim that I avoided your questions, so be it. You can declare whatever hollow victory you desire, because you seem to obsess over that. If that's what floats your boat, so be it. I would prefer, instead, that you seek professional help because you appear to be a very troubled individual who very much needs the help.

You really are total fucking retarded, aren't you.
Let's see if you can follow along and discover why you are proven to be a lying retard.
First you state multiple times that hosts does port filtering.
Then when called out for clearly stating a lie you decided to double down on the lie and restate it.
The when confronted about your now proven false statements that you failed to show any evidence for you declare that you won like a retard.
So then several months go by and someone points out that you have stated that hosts does port filtering you deny that it does finally but at this point you bring your shit toy program into it trying to make it look like people were saying that your program did the filtering. You were the first person to tie the two together as no one else said or implied that but you attempted to lie by twisting what was actually said to try to make yourself look good.
Now you post more of your bullshit like what is above in a further attempt to deflect and deceive people as you attempt to make yourself look good but the premise you started from was one of your many lies so that is also a lie.

Face it your lies have been exposed many times before, this is just the most recent. Your failure has been documented for all to see. Now go away retard.
