Doing With Data

“The NVIV (Next Vista Inspiring Video) series of posts are written by Rushton Hurley and designed to provide students and teachers with fascinating discussion prompts.”

In Doing With Data, Rushton features Abu. He is a 17-year-old high school student who discovered the potential of machine learning.

Rushton gives the following prompts to accompany this video:

“What’s a moment in your life when you weren’t sure you could learn something, and ended up figuring it out? Who helped you? A teacher? A friend? Someone out there who created a YouTube video?”

As a special education teacher, I’ve seen how my students learn differently from others. I think seeing this video would make them realize that other students realize this also and that it is okay to learn differently. This might help them be more open to finding other ways of reaching their goals.

Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
