We don’t really talk a lot about homeschooling here at in Nigeria, mainly because the idea is still kind of foreign to most of us. However, it’s good to acquint ourselves with this alternative kind of teaching and learning. There’s a lot to say about homeschooling – or unschooling, or hackschooling, as different variations are becoming known.
This awesome TED talk was given by 13 year old Logan LaPlante – a ‘hackschooler’ himself. He talks about why hackschooling makes him happy. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, administrator, a homeschooler, or otherwise, there are a lot of takeaways about personalized education in this talk. While the extreme personalized education one can receive as a homeschooler, unschooler, or hackschooler isn’t usually possible in a group classroom setting to the degree it is at home, this talk brings a fresh perspective to learning. Take a look at the video to hear what he has to say!
