HourSchool believes that everyone is a learner, and everyone is a teacher. We want to empower people to see themselves as teachers, but how do we do this? I presented this Future15 talk at SXSWedu 2013 outlining some of the lessons we've learned about peer learning + some suggested action items to try out!
