Start the year with some inspiration
I’ve recently returned to my RSS reader (anyone else incredibly frustrated with Netvibes right now?) and as expected, rememberd why I loved subscribing to all these writers in the first place.
One in particular that I want to get out there quickly since it could be a powerful start to your year, is a video that NCS-Tech shared with the tag line:
Every. Educator. Must. Watch. This. Now.
So I did.
Fifth grader, Dalton Sherman of Dallas, TX delivers the keynote address - just 2 days ago – to 20,000 educators. Not to be missed.
A great inspirational speech to start your year.
He’s in fifth grade!
It’s making the rounds now and since it’s so new there isn’t much about this kid out there. Here’s an article I found.
Also a little shout out to Tracy for reminding me to get back on the blog and start writing again…this hardly counts, but the first step is just getting on.
many many thanks for sharing this. great great vdo!
Glad to see you’re writing. Of course it counts – this kid is hot. Thanks Dennis.
Very impressive!
Will pass it along to colleagues but not sure it’ll have the same effect in the UK as in USA (or Canada maybe!) That lad certainly has a bright future ahead. I was somewhat suspicious at the screams of yes when he asked “do you believe all my classmates can get to college” – let’s be honest – we know exactly which of our students are capable of getting to college and some students have different measures of success to others.
Hadn’t seen it until you posted it. Thanks so much!
Just goes to show that if something is worth posting it is “always” worth posting – no matter how old.
how’s the basement.
