Do not try to satisfy your vanity by teaching a great many things. Awaken people's curiosity. It is enough to open minds; do not overload them. Put there just a spark. If there is some good flammable stuff, it will catch fire.

Current Event 9

About this time of year I need a little inspiration to keep going as a teacher. This is mostly due to report cards and the onset of winter and darkness here in Calgary. These are two videos which have always helped to keep me focused and positive. The first is an RSA animate video from YouTube. RSA Animate takes lectures and puts a cartoon to them. This has always been attractive to a visual learner like myself. This particular lecture is by Sir Ken Robinson who should be failrly well know these days. Hopefully it inspires you also. The second video is Seinfeld. That's about all I need to say.
