You won't believe what the pedagogue told me.

>> Newbie, that is for your ears only.

I don't need to know what he said.

I only know that you have your greatest test in front of you.

>> Yeah, I know.

I'm ready.

>> Then let's begin.

Computer, upload technology final exam.

>> Sounds serious.

>> It is.

[SOUND] >> Hi.

How are you?

>> This kiddy guy my final test?

No problem.

>> Not at all lets meet the eye.

>> [SOUND] >> I have a product for you.

You have students, right?

>> Wow, you are really strong.

Yeah, I have students.

>> All right, how many students?

35 in a class, 4 classes.

>> 140 students?

That's a lot.

I guess I can start out with a starter pack of 150 seats.

You want something that grades students automatically right?

>> Well.

>> Look it's going to gameified.

It's going to encourage self directed learning and other buzz words.

>> Buzz words?

Wait, are you a salesman?

>> Wow.

They told me you looked a bit slow.

Yes.

Listen, pal.

This is a one time offer.

Are you in or out?

This is the wave of the future.

>> I don't, I don't know.

I guess, well, no.

>> Darn you.

[SOUND] >> That's it?

I defeated him?

That was easy.

>> Hi, nice to meet you.

>> Didn't we just talk?

>> Nope, never forget a face.

Must have been some other guy.

>> But I- >> So do I have an offer for you.

This little baby will have your students learning according

to all the newest studies.

You see, I brought charts and research.

I've got all the evidence to prove to you that this is the shiniest new thing on

the market.

>> No.

[SOUND] >> That last guy was a drag, wasn't he?

Now do I have something to share with you.

In fact, I've already sold this to your fellow teacher down the hall.

Just sign here.

>> No. [SOUND]

>> All right,

those guys don't know how to sell well.

What a bunch of losers.

You see, I don't sell directly to teachers.

I sell to administrators who barely understand what I'm saying.

I say a few flashy things like interactivity and intentionality, and

bammo.

I actually just sold my product to your administration, so

now you will have to use it.

[LAUGH] >> No, no, no.

>> Freeze frame.

Clear program.

[SOUND] So, what did you do wrong, Newbie?

>> I don't know.

They all came at me so fast, I just, I just said no to everything.

It's just that there we so many of them.

>> Indeed.

But there must be a way we can slow things down.

Remember your training.

>> I don't know.

I don't know if I can.

I can't think.

There's so many products, I can't keep up.

>> Your job isn't to keep up, newbie.

Your job is to remember your training.

>> Remember my training.

Remember my training.

Okay.

One more time.

>> Then let's begin.
