Chapter 123: Sister Math
Chinese In response to the fact that many people like to watch live games, Bai Yao and Huang Guolun discussed: "Is this like fans watching football, fans watching football are to appreciate the highest level of competitive sports." Watermark ad test, watermark ad test, watch game live broadcast, the same is true. Nowadays, many games are also included in the category of competitive sports, and everyone watching professional masters play games is like watching professional players play, which is quite interesting. Huang Guolun usually doesn't like to play games, and has never regarded games as competitive sports, listening to Bai Yao's analysis, he suddenly realized: "So that's the case, no wonder so many people love to watch others play games." ”
"I can understand that I love to watch others play games, but now there are a lot of live broadcasts on the Internet, not live games, they sing and dance live broadcasts, and Kan Dashan's, such live broadcasts are actually watched by many people, and there are many people who give gifts, which makes me very puzzled. What is the selling point of their live broadcast? If you want to listen to good music, you have to listen to professional singers. If you want to see it, there are a lot of small videos on the Internet. …… Teacher, don't look at me like that, I don't like to read this, but I know there are a lot of this kind of stuff on the Internet. …… But why do so many people still watch the anchor's various tricks? Is it just because there is interactivity? A few words with the anchor can give them a sense of satisfaction and existence?" Huang Guolun said: "I really can't say why, you should have an in-depth discussion with Zhao Jing, she is a student of communication, and she should understand the psychology of the public." Bai Yao said: "No matter what the psychology of the public is, after watching the current online live broadcast, I feel that it is quite meaningless, if you want to relax, watch a movie, or watch a soap opera, you can kill time more than watching a live broadcast." If you want to listen to music, wouldn't it be nice to listen to the finished version of the song? Why do so many people have to listen to those anchors on the Internet? It's not that I'm nitpicking, teacher, after learning music with you for a while, I think those people on the Internet are so bad at singing. That kind of singing is not performative at all, it is just singing casually, and it is not rehearsed. As you said, if we want to sing, we have to rehearse hard and present the best singing voice and the best music to everyone, instead of just singing and messing around. But now most of the anchors on the Internet are singing casually, and they can't even talk about practice. They are like street performers, singing casually, putting on a hat and reaching out to ask for money, and there are really people who give them gifts, which makes me feel speechless. Selling arts, everyone has real skills, but now I don't dare to say all the people who are doing online live broadcasting, but I think most of them don't have any real talents, they are just selling faces. Huang Guolun smiled and said: "To the point, it seems that you have a lot of resentment about the live webcast." Bai Yao explained: "I'm not resentful, I really think that the content of the online live broadcast is boring now, and there are too few live broadcasts with content and selling points." This kind of live broadcast is also for boring people to see, and when people become less boring than now, this kind of live broadcast will have no market, and there is no sustainable development value at all, and the advantages of live broadcast interactivity are wasted. Huang Guolun said: "You have studied webcasts quite deeply. Bai Yao shook his hand: "No, no, I'm just thinking about what kind of live broadcast should be done to make the content valuable, and it can continue to attract audiences to watch, and it can also make everyone gain something, rather than just passing the time to relieve boredom." Huang Guolun was very curious: "Then have you thought of doing any kind of live broadcast?" Bai Yao showed a low-key smile and said: "I have a not very mature idea now, and I don't know if it is feasible or not. Did you know that there is a math brother in the United States? Salman Khan, who shared a little video of teaching for free and changed the whole American education model. Huang Guolun is a teacher, so he naturally knows that this person has changed American education
The glorious deeds of "Brother Math". The math brother was born in the United States to a Bengali father and an Indian mother.
His upbringing was quite bumpy, and his father died when he was a teenager. With his tireless efforts and talent, he was admitted to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he studied mathematics, engineering and computer science, and after graduation, he went to work as a financial analyst on Wall Street, and his future is bright.
Later, by chance, Salman's life trajectory was changed. Salman has a young niece named Nadia, who was in seventh grade in 2004 and had been struggling in math and asked Salman to tutor her.
Since he was not in the same city as Nadia, Salman had to teach Nadia math through the Internet.
Unexpectedly, Nadia's results improved rapidly. The news spread through Salman's circle of friends.
Friends offered to let Salman tutor the child in math. The children who have been tutored by Salman have skyrocketed in their math scores.
Salman felt that such a tutoring was too inefficient, so it was better to make a video and put it on the Internet for everyone to watch for free.
When he got home, he hid in the cloakroom, locked himself up, took a camera and started recording video.
His teaching videos are very vivid and can explain a mathematical concept in less than 10 minutes. In 2006, Salman began posting videos of him on the Internet for free viewing, and it has been out of control ever since.
Unlike previous teaching videos, Salman's teaching videos are not very flashy, there are no well-made pictures, there are no verbal teachers, and usually, there is no one in the video, only a clipboard.
In the traditional teaching video, the teacher keeps talking in front of the blackboard, giving people a condescending feeling, Salman does the opposite, hoping to better lead the audience to follow him and think little by little.
According to media reports, now there are 20,000 schools in the United States that no longer need math teachers, and children only need to watch Salman's videos to learn math.
In the United States, a large number of families use Salman's teaching software to learn, but Salman has always adhered to the model of free sharing and rejected hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital.
He started it
Khan Academy, a non-profit organization dedicated to free video education, has praised even Bill Gates, whose charitable foundation has donated $5 million to support Salman's cause.
Google has also provided great support for Khan Academy. At present, Khan Academy's teaching videos have been translated into many Chinese languages and are popular all over the world.
Salman Khan appeared on the cover of Forbes magazine for this purpose, which is known as the Internet age
"The Godfather of Mathematics". Huang Guolun listened to Bai Yao talk about Salman Khan, and immediately guessed what Bai Yao was going to do, and asked her with a smile: "You don't want to be like Brother Math, recording a small video to teach others math knowledge, right?" Bai Yao's eyes lit up, and he said: "Yes, I want to combine teaching videos with live webcasts." I've seen some of the videos of my math brother, and some of my classmates have also seen them, but I don't feel very good. There are still big differences between Chinese and Western teaching models. Especially in mathematics teaching, I think that if I want to talk about the mathematical knowledge points in our domestic textbooks, I can understand better than what my math brother said. I've seen some teaching videos of online school teachers before, some of them are good and some are not good, but most of them are quite boring, if I am a student, I am afraid that if I listen to it twice, it will not be fresh. I have worked as a tutor for several junior high school students before, but my experience is relatively limited. I want to use the form of live webcast, under the premise of good interactivity, to communicate with more students and explain mathematics knowledge to them. Through this interactive format, I can also accumulate some teaching experience, so as to better help our local Chinese students improve their math scores. "Bai Yao, this is the rhythm of being a math teacher!
Huang Guolun commented with a smile: "Teaching on an entertaining website, your idea is very bold. ”
"I don't necessarily have to talk on entertaining live broadcast platforms like Sunny Day and Douyu, but I see that they have some live broadcast rooms on these platforms, which play old movies, music MVs and so on 24 hours a day. I want to be able to record a video of math knowledge points, and I can also put it in the live broadcast room to broadcast it on a rolling basis. When you have accumulated enough popularity and made a certain amount of popularity, you can also put the video on the free education website like Khan Academy in the future, so that everyone can watch knowledge points on demand for special learning. Bai Yao was very aware of her advantages, and thought: "If I want to record a small teaching video, it will definitely not be like Brother Math who only has a blackboard and no one else." I want to create an image of a math sister with a personality for everyone, so that everyone thinks it will be cool to learn math with me. Even if some people don't like to study and are willing to watch beautiful women, they may patronize my live broadcast room more, and they will learn some knowledge subtly while watching me. Huang Guolun smiled: "You think a lot." ”
"Many people feel that the knowledge they learned in school will not be used after graduation, so it is useless to learn it. Especially mathematics, which is an old and difficult subject in the eyes of many people, everyone thinks that learning it is also in vain. A few years after graduation, who will remember any formulas? They may forget even the simplest mathematical formulas. Huang Guolun said embarrassedly: "I can't remember a few mathematical formulas, and I don't even know what SN and OS are." ”
"A lot of people probably don't remember it, but that doesn't mean it's useless to study math. Mathematics is the most logical discipline that exercises people's logical thinking. Mr. Huang, a lot of the thinking logic in your current life was reasoned and shaped by learning various knowledge when you were a student. Logical thinking affects a person's life, and mathematics leaves no less mark on your life than music, but you don't feel it. "Cat flutter Chinese
