Samira Ahmed&Zach Hayes - on "Owning Your Education" What is learning? Moving into 2010, we see an increasing need for traditional methods of learning to be supplemented by new collaborative student-driven forms of education; to see education as a more open, two-way process between those with knowledge, and those learning. FYBY News (www.fybynews.com) is a new open movement that enables students to explore issues they care about, ask questions they may not otherwise ask, and share their findings with the world through video and other multimedia applications students, finally, get to own their education. Presented at TEDxYouthOttawa on March 4, 2010 at Ashbury College in Ottawa, Canada Video by Adam Langlois, Creative Director, For Youth By Youth (FYBY) News TEDxYouthOttawa Organizers: Adam Moscoe Yusuf Malik David Millen www.tedxyouthottawa.org About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
