What is the difference between project based learning and problem based learning?!!

Is project learning the same as brain based learning

Great great great video

I think you can be very high IQ - so called "gifted", and not very creative & questioning though.

What age group are you talking about?

i am following the list, pretty sure I would mark 50/50 on each column. I guess am semi_ something EDIT: oh there you go, thats useful, creative learner

I have adhd, dyslexia, dyscalulia and am gifted. I had no need to take notes in most classes that didnt involve writing, due to dysgraphia my hand writing is quite bad and writing can be painful. I was able to absorb information especially if i was interested in it. An example would be when i took the year before's final exam in biology, as a way for the teachers to judge us in the first week of school, i received a 92 out of 100. I took the final that year and got a 99 due to a grammatical error on my part. English class and math were not my best due to the dyslexia and dyscalculia but i overcame that with out knowing i have it. I can speak several languages and am self taught.

I laughed out loud when i read the yellow list.

I have a gifted child and a bright child. This video is very accurate.

Does anybody else feel mentally abused by the supposed educational system? I would always stare into the wall crying on behalf of their stupidity❤ (and know everything)

I was identified as gifted when I was a teenager. Ironically, it was due to my failing grades that I was assessed in the first place. This video describes me perfectly, and it's strange to hear some of the more specific aspects of my experience discussed by somebody other than myself.

Really great video! As a gifted kid who is now a junior in college, I relate to these experiences a lot. I was one of those kids who hated school despite being very smart, so it's validating to learn now that I only felt that way because my needs weren't being met in a traditional school environment, and that this is a common source of frustration for other gifted kids too. College has been a much better experience! It's been fascinating to dive into gifted research and learn more about how my brain is wired.

2.40 in.... Boring. Looks like assumption based material. This is like wheelchaired people trying to classify runners, but from wheelchair perspective only. Presenter sounds Autistic.

This is the most theraputic video I have come across as it relates to my experience. I was told that I was gifted and everything here confirms it. I could write an essay but I won't. I can see now that this has been the source of many of my frustrations including my depression. I am crying right now! Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge. You have been a great help!

thank you sm it was very helpful 😍❤

Interesting distinction between the 2 groups...difference between bright and gifted is more qualitative than quantitative.

Watching this video, I feel like I may be bright + gifted, although I have never been identified as gifted. Some of the things that make me think this: -I asked a lot of questions, and sometimes even asked questions that I knew the answer too, but I thought asking the question could help my friend, who I could see struggling from across the room. -When I was in school I recall saying stuff like, "I understand this, but... what about X." And also stuff like, "If that's true, does that mean Y is also true?" (Relating the current topics to lessons taught in the past or drawing a conclusion about something not addressed yet but where the teacher was headed with their lesson). -I was also often attentive to teachers, but only when I was passionate about the topic or trusted the teacher enough to get to an interesting part, so I would try to help the class move along faster by participating. -I hated when teachers would give filler assignments, like crossword vocab assignments. These assignments felt like a waste of my time and sometimes I would just not do them in order to do something more mentally stimulating. - I preferred working alone always, if I could. - I often felt like I wasn't doing enough because my classmates would talk about how much they studied for a test they struggled on, when I may have not even glanced at my notes. But then I would still get a high score. Sometimes I even considered that they were lying to act less smart and fit in with others. - I would often play off my teachers sarcasm and occasionally probably took it too far, but wasn't too concerned because normally only the teacher and a few other students understood my jokes. (Except once I made a joke and my teacher explained it to my classmates, when I was really hoping nobody was going to catch it, except the people I had intended, as it has a low-grade insult laced in the joke). -If a teacher was doing a lesson on something I was already knowledgeable about and it was a topic I enjoyed, I would sometimes want to jump out of my seat and start telling people about it myself. Or the opposite, the teacher begins teaching a lesson and I notice the lesson is outdated and it really bothers me. (For instance, I recall a presentation on the supreme court that had a picture with long retired or deceased justices). - To this day, I still think a lot of the stuff people in my age group do is silly and not worth my time. This has gotten worse the more I learn, as I now often feel this way about people much older than me, too. I'm 23, by the way. -I could keep going, but I will stop here or else no one may ever read this.

I grew up in the 70s & 80s as an atypical gifted child. I was never recognized as such, though occasionally a teacher would risk pointing in that direction. I was the kid who was put out in the hall, or in a refrigerator box in the back of the room, in a 'pod' with the high achievers, or with my desk next to the teacher's facing the class... I was slow to develop socially, and did not catch up to my peers until age 16, when I rocketed ahead of everyone else. A bit too late; I graduated in the bottom 10% of my high school class. I wonder what would have happened had I been born 10 years later.

over simplifications here!!! bright and gifted children have an incredible variation of attributes... anywhere from loners to life of the party...from ignoring daily life to be in their own world--Me! to being in everyone elses business... I had an IQ in the 130s, but was too distracted in school and abused at home to get good grades, or even want interaction with others... Once out on my own, I did ok in life... Now retired...

Gifted needs a different name. It’s not a gift for a lot of people. Society doesn’t like outliers. Not even “smart” ones. Public schools especially don’t serve gifted kids well.

I see, I understand now. I was a bright child in high school. Because of my hard work I got into a local university considered one of the best in the country. Do note that I didn't go abroad because I failed to secure scholarships. So I essentially had to do plan B. I studied CS and I felt that it was difficult. I didn't get straight A's like I used to. My peers, on the other hand, were doing well. So I did what any bright student knows best: study more diligently. I had to sacrifice a lot of things just to keep up. Social life, entertainment, time with family, even sleep. But it wasn't enough. I still managed to fail some classes and had to be held back a year. Even without putting in as much effort, my friends were still able to pass with good grades. I was below their standard, inferior. Now I understand that they were not just gifted students, some of them were also bright. These elite, bright and gifted few were the ones making a name for themselves, winning competitions left and right. If I had the ability to pick just one of the two, I'd rather be gifted than bright. My life experiences made me highly value efficiency. It's also far easier for people to be bright than to be gifted, so giftedness is relatively rarer. Alas, this is real life and I'm not gifted, so I just have to suck it up and continue on

What is the category of the child being asked and starts his/her answer by spelling out the subject and afterwards would continue giving out the answer to the question???

They also really screwed my sister up by putting her in a gifted program with older children, high school kids. The movie "Gifted" shows what happens, too, if kids don't get a childhood, which is good for their brains, too. I think that it would have been better for her to have gone to a community college with a guardian in the class with her. She's adapted now... boy do I hate much of the upper classes and their genius idears.

Yeah, sure, yellow stands for courage and cowards when they see yellow snow. Who is the pure and who is tainted?

The problem in school is that they put us all together. In elementary school, when kids are developing the most, they may go up or down IQ-wise. I have a disability, so I am forever the target. Plus, I don't learn at the same rate. If I succeed, many people become angry because they've been trained to believe that they are geniuses because I'm stupid. That's not how it works, but yeah. I also tend to go straight through things due to my concrete thinking and observations. I was always good at their little science fairs, designed catapults, rockets, protecting eggs because it's so simple. The parents who made the triangle guard for their kids' egg drop used the wrong materials for one thing. I drag in my crappy-looking catapult with magazine flowers on it and then managed to pass the class I was failing. :P. I lost all of my presentation points but won in all other areas. Even the kid who had her dad weld a spoon with measurements and leverage failed to make an accurate hit failed to match mine. Also, parents hated me for the attention I got in a room without windows that was probably some sort of storage room/closet or the aid. It's always unfair that I exist. That's another reason why they should separate us. All I am is a target or exploited for funds. Look at my life, inclusion has worked out for me...

At 16 I had a 158 IQ but I couldn't capitalize on that because of a disfuncional family. I was constantly being kicked out of schools for fighting, left my parents home at 17, went into drugs, living in the streets, alcoholic at 18, suicidal since ever... I excel in everything I did, but couldn't accept recognition for something I thought had no value, because it was a gift, not hard gained through work. Trust me: a gifted child in a disfuncional family is like ridding a Moto at +200 without helmet (which I did, many times drunk and/or high). Luckily I survived and overcome everything by my own. Now I am 42 and I live my dream life (somehow I made it): wonderful family of 3 (4th coming), dogs, a small farm, big old car, surf and living in harmony in nature. I am financially poor but I feel like the richest person in the world. I travel 2 times a year (one with my family and another with my wife, like kids in an adventure). If you are a gifted kid and you feel the same way as I did, my advice for you is to follow your own star, trust your instincts, use your capacities the best you can, and focus on what makes you happy. Live your life in harmony with yourself and with nature. Pay no attention to what people say, because they don't know what is best for you, only you do. Being gifted can be both a blessing and a curse. Depends on you - and only you - to know how to make the best out of it. Use your gift, don't drift. If you are a gifted kid and you have a caring family with loving parents, just appreciate the bliss and give back to the world; try to make it a better place. Remember: with the gift comes the responsibility. Overcome. Gods bless 🙏

Would comment on whether you have noticed any discrepancy in Empathy among those identified as Bright, Gifted, and/or Creative, and between these and others? I believe myself to be a Gifted+Creative Adult, and invalidation- often ubiquitous, intense, and at times spiteful- has been the typical Societal response which my being different seems to elicit. Meanwhile, it strikes me that at the core of my Giftedness+Creativity is Empathy. I wonder how others may experience or think of this- a little more Empathy, and a lot more people may be able to tap into the creativity that is already inside of them (or at least that is how I tend to view Creativity).

Any advice for a parent who is just now realizing that their 15 year old son's struggles in school might be because he may be gifted? I hadn't considered he may be gifted until very recently, and am broken up over how hard he has had it in school over the years. I'm considering sending him to a different school next year that may tailor their curriculum towards that type of learner, but where I live, options appear to be very limited. I just don't see a path forward staying where he is, though.

I wish when I was in school my teachers were aware of this.

I'm none the wiser, relating to bits here and there with all three of them. Knowing a couple of born super-geniuses I know I am not one of them, and yet my mental space is close enough to theirs that we're friends and mostly bridge that gap. I was never academically inclined but made up for it by being intelligent enough. I didn't care to learn, and didn't think much of knowledge, but would occasionally like to learn or look through any chapters except for the one we were supposed to learn in class... I have awful long-term memory, but was excellent with memory games as a child. I probably relate to the creative gift the least, but am highly intuitive and enjoy making new connections. I just don't like the brain-storming aspect of the creative learner, and tend to seek the simplest, silly abomination of a creation to amuse myself. I lean towards something in between the bright and the gifted with a dash of creativity.

Gifted adult here. Unfortunately, I was an underachiever in high school. Thank you childhood trauma! I'm 32 now and have just started to thrive. I can relate to a lot of what you've discussed in this video! Thanks!

It appears to me that "High Achievers" do well in school because the education system has been designed to cater to their needs. Put them in a different learning environment and they're going to struggle. Hopelessly.

First time hearing about creative thinkers and I feel that my weirdness can come from it. I might be one of those unusual thinker that is weird but I guess it is okay because I can manage things correctly anyway.

Imagine how epic it would be if a gifted person trained themselves to work hard. Jesus christ.

Hi

Just been binge watching some of your videos, and I am so glad that the education and understanding of gifted children has developed so much further since I received the label back in the late 70s. The idea of independent projects is brilliant, and in my experience it also works. There was one teacher at my Primary school who actually knew how to teach a gifted child, and allowing me to do agreed on independent projects was a strategy she used. I still had to do the normal classwork, but once I had proven that I had completed the work then she'd sit down with me, go through what I was planning to work on, and then set me to it and come lunch time or just before end of school we'd sit down again and go through things together. It seems like such a simple idea, but it was exactly what I needed. It's wonderful to hear that this technique is still being used and taught to more teachers out there. Now aside from that one positive experience in my case I have to say that 99.9% of the time growing up as a gifted child was a living hell for me, partly because I don't think they really knew what to do with us back then, or they thought they did and they got it wrong. To this day I am still gobsmacked when I see people saying, "I wish my child was gifted'. Wish for them to be happy, healthy, bright, to have a good work ethic, anything but gifted. I guess though that that still speaks volumes to how misunderstood giftedness remains in society even today. Anyway, great content, and keep doing what you do (it's important work and it's needed).

Dear Mr Stanley, I saw a sudoku posting for kids and wanted to comment but could not, probably because comments are not allowed for kids. I am guessing the sudoku video is your work. Maybe you encounter kids who want to get started in computer programming. Sudoku is a good task to automate because the rules are solid and easily understood. A starting point could be to write a sudoku solver using the Microsoft Excel framework. I wrote a sudoku solver using Excel formulas and I post sudoku solutions at "sail MICHIGAN" I have some ideas about how kids could get started. My sudoku solving videos are at "sail MICHIGAN" and I just posted a solution to the puzzle you used in the kid video czcams.com/video/IBzK5E_7h-0/video.html

Are there overlapping characteristics in between these types? (Especially creative and gifted).

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing Todd.

Thank you so much, it was so helpful.

Fellow teacher here. I like your videos. Keep it up man. Maybe invest in some better camera equipment maybe? If you're in this for the long term
