PP1


I thoroughly enjoyed the Presentation Zen blog. Shawn Cornally's video was definitely enlightening. At the high school I currently teach at, I had students worried about classes being too hard, or too demanding, that may not be able to pull off an A. Heaven forbid they get a B! I'm afraid we are in for a rude awakening if we continue to let (and heack, even encourage?) students to have this outlook for their education. Forget the letter grades. Give something more meaningful! The Jedi master of data visualization, Hans Rosling, is the man. Hands down. I really enjoyed viewing all of his information, and even taking a close look at his life and how he got involved in what he does. This is my favorite kind of education stuff. This is what I feel should be involved in "graduate studies." Forget reading long and boring text books. This is the real world stuff that matters and what is going on in today's education systems.


DropBox is Awesome!
