Teen Teach at WizIQ Public Class

About the Class

This is a continuation of the popular "How 2 WizIQ" series. We will continue the tutorials for individual feature use but that will be indexed for your use via YouTube videos. Look in the comments at this original article for the location of said index. This class series will change its focus to helping first time teachers (usually teens) to decide how to begin sharing and teaching online. This effort to empower all to teach fulfills another goal for some of us at WizIQ to begin a new EDUPUNK movement.

I have always said "Everyone can and SHOULD teach". It is a natural function of living in community. At WizIQ it is possible for all to try their hand at teaching. I have encouraged many to do so and will continue to challenge all to participate as equals in our learning community.

However, I have discovered that it is not so simple for these brave young people to just jump into the water and start swimming. Therefor, the previous series of "How 2 Wiziq" will now be adjusted to accomodate the young people who would teach.

Weekly we will cover 4 main areas of teaching online and particularly teen issues associated with growing into a leadership role among their peers. The general topics covered shall be:

• The features and uses of our VC (virtual classroom)


• The WizIQ community and portal... how things work and where stuff is at


• The role of a teen teacher... do you have to pretend or can you be yourself and help others?


• Interpersonal skills for the begginer level of adulthood... how to deal with others, even the evil ones who show up

Every Sunday through November 14th we will be reviewing and analyzing the important discoveries by Sugata Mitra.

All may attend who wish to become better citizens at our learning community. We will also conduct short practice classes for all to experiment with and share observations and feedback.
