I saw this video posted on Wes Fryer’s blog. I’m requiring my students (who have been creating online Positive Digital Footprint resources) to watch it.

I saw these videos on Garr Reynolds’ web site. If you have liked the original “Did You Know” videos, you will definitely like these.

Here’s an excellent presentation by Benjamin Zander, conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. He demonstrates a lot of excitement which he attributes to attitude.  No PowerPoint here.  He makes his point with some very simple drawings (more like scribbles) on two sheets of paper.

Take note of how he determines an “A” in his class.

Today is retirement day for Bill Gates.  Now his focus will shift from Microsoft to giving away more than 99% of his money.  In case you are wondering, 1% of 50 billion dollars will still leave 500 million dollars.  Most people could scrape an existence out of that for a few thousand years.

Here is the video from CES earlier this year.  I imagine it will get a lot of air time today.

Here is the (slightly more serious) video tribute from Microsoft’s site.
