I used to see these around Beijing, particularily prior to major holidays. This is quite the vision.
Pivot = Change the STRATEGY not the VISION
Don’t change the vision, pivot to a new strategy. Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup, coined the term pivot and here he is explaining the term. Watch and learn how YouTube, Twitter and Groupon abruptly changed course before they achieved success. If they hadn’t pivoted, YouTube would have been a dating site, Twitter would be a podcasting website and Groupon would still be organizing political protests.

TED-Ed | Lessons Worth Sharing
TED-Ed has launched a new open platform for using video in education. The word is that TED-Ed allows any teacher to take a video of their choice (yes, any video on YouTube, not just theirs) and make it the heart of a “lesson” that can easily be assigned in class or as homework, complete with context, follow-up questions and further resources. The site is in beta. But TED-Ed thinks there’s enough there to show why they’re so excited about this. This whole process is explained really well in this video created by the TED-Ed team.
What I love about this process, is that ultimately it allows the viewer to Dig Deeper and Think about what they are viewing…..in other words to critically think about the video, not just consume it. AND, you can FLIP the video and make it your own lesson. BRILLIANT!

Caine’s Arcade
A 9 year old boy who built an elaborate cardboard arcade in his dad’s used auto parts store is about to have the best day of his life. You have got to take 10 minutes and watch this sweet video about imagination, loving what you do, being an entrepreneur and the power of social media. This is a video that teachers should share with their students, no matter their age. I love how proud Caine is when he is showing us his work. After you watch the video, head over to Caine’s website. I know you’ll get chills, goosebumps and might even cry….but it’ll make your day.
