Thinking about Kevin Allocca's TED talk

Kevin Allocca's TED talk about why videos go viral.
It is a great talk about pop culture, but it makes me think about how some of our students create so much content online and how they view collaborating, copyright, sharing, and more. And how sometimes, as adults, we panic about those things.

More thoughts spinning in my head but this one is worth watching. Though, I have to warn you, that Rebecca Black song is featured in it....

Book Drops: "Out of Our Minds" by Ken Robinson (rated 5 stars)

Out of Our Minds: Learning to be Creative

by Ken Robinson

After watching Ken Robinson’s TED lecture, I had to read his books. This is the first one I have read and it is fascinating, informative and again talks about balancing art and science, emotion and intellect. Robinson’s focus is a movement towards creativity. There is an imbalance and it must be corrected before we all fall behind. If you like Daniel Pink, you will enjoy this read.

More thoughts on this later.
