Drive-by Ideas

After watching the Drive animation clip from our first class together, I am intrigued by two things. The first being that the director/animator/drawing hand tapped into one of our most valuable resources/reward based systems, time. By summarizing 272 pages in 10 minutes the audience has no reason for not watching this amazing idea unfold. Which leads me to my next idea, the audience is captivated by these profound discoveries while watching someone else doodle. How many times have we sat in a cafe, airport or professional development seminar jotting down random ideas, phrases or doodles? As the video clip demonstrated, motivation can take many forms and may strike at any time. So take the ideas from the video and from your napkin doodles and create new ways to motivate your students, educational team and school site. It only takes one idea and someone crazy enough to pursue it to change the world.
