Archives For Video – Wednesday Watchlist

I have to thank my wonderful wife Marilyn for sharing this video with me and with sharing this belief. We are raising our boys to follow their passions. According to the popular saying:

“If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.”

My twist on this popular quote:

“If you make your passion your profession you will never work a day in your life.”

If we do follow this sage advice perhaps we will then heed Fredrick Douglas’ admonition:

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”

Scientific evidence that video games can be good for us.

Sir Ken Robinson confirms that the learning revolution has already begun and if we have any involvement with students we can make a difference:

The education system for any given student is the school or classroom they go to… If you are a teacher you are the education system for those kids. So you can change the world of education for those kids immediately if you choose to. If enough of us do that, that adds up to social movement and that is what revolutions is.

Are you doing your part?

What is school really for…?
