BGSU Stroh Center Rap celebrates donors and features student talent [video]

I think this is such a cool idea to produce a rap video about the Stroh Center donors. I'm also very impressed by the talented student performers: Mikey "Rosco" Blair and Rachel Willingham.



My favorite line is, "his name is Schmidthorst, 83% consonants; if you disrespect, you have to deal with the consequence."

Sir Ken Robinson speech like a Prezi scribbled onto a whiteboard

My partner came across this YouTube video and said I might be interested in checking it out because it has "something to do with education." Little did I know it was a speech by Sir Ken Robinson, whom I had only just learned about after watching a keynote speech by Tom Krieglstein on Leveraging Social Media to Increase & Quantity Student Engagement, which was just posted online 5 days ago.

Whew!

Let me just take a step back and admire how quickly influential events fall into place when you go out looking for them. So back to this YouTube video. It's my first Sir Ken Robinson experience, and it was definitely an eye-opening I-love-this-stuff ah-ha moment for me, so I just had to share...



The animation itself is breathtaking, like a Prezi scribbled onto a whiteboard. Amazing! It's made by RSA Animate, and their other videos are equally fascinating to watch.

Intramural Battleship at the University of Alabama [VIDEO]

This video is filmed like an epic movie trailer for a new intramural sport called Battleship. The objective is to sink your competitors' boats by throwing buckets of water into their canoes. It looks like there is a member of each team with a shield to block some of the water.

Based on a quick Google search, it looks like there are a dozen or so universities with Intramural Battleship. Fun!

What I learned: Intramural sports are as fun as you make them.
