Found via EDITing in the Dark

I’ve been a Mythbusters fan, long before I started working for Discovery. What blew me away when I had the opportunity to meet them, was that I discovered there was absolutely no acting on the show. They really are as passionate about learning as they seem to be. So when I found out that Adam had a TED talk, it was no surprise to me that he focused all of his energy talking about how he focuses all his energy on his own personal learning journeys.

So as you watch this video, just think about one thing… what are our students this passionate about, when do they have the opportunity to express it, and what do we do to foster it?

I think Mythbusters does an excellent job of showing students what it looks like to have passion for a career and a passion for learning. Adam and Jamie seem to always enjoy themselves while applying scientific thought to real world problems. Adam’s video for TED was great. Thanks for sharing.
