Randy Pausch's Lecture
This was a very helpful video. Mr. Pausch brings some interesting stuff on how to work with students and push them academically in the classroom. In the lecture he talks about childhood dreams and how to achieve them. I found this part of the video to be quite inspirational.

He gives some helpful advice on setting goals. He tells the story on when he was younger he wanted to plat football. He achieved his goal and joined the football team. he later says that one of his coaches really gave him a hard time. Another coach suggested that he did that because he care about Randy. His coach just wanted him to succeed and be successful.

Teachers should push their students and enable students to accomplish their goals. Teachers should let their students know that they can do anything if they put they want it bad enough. Mr. Pausch brings up how teachers should set their expectations high. This allows the students to reach a higher level of education.

He ends the presentation by talking about how being an encourager is key to a students overall development. Teachers, parents and friends should be the best support for the individual. From watching this video, I've learned that encouraging is the best kind of educational tool.
