This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Cordell Steiner, a thoughtful elementary student, brings forward a new way to think about teaching students based on his experience. Through his eyes we can see how a unique classroom based on technology and games will promote learning in all students.

When not pursuing academic achievement at school or enlightenment at church 5th grader Cordell Steiner enjoys spending his time with Legos, golf, basketball, and Boy Scouts. Cordell found value in a classroom that is centered around the individual student through gaming. He looks forward to spreading this concept to other classrooms and schools by telling his personal account of Mr. Ananth Pai third grade classroom and extolling its benefits.

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)
