Songs of Learning

“The NVIV (Next Vista Inspiring Video) series of posts are written by Rushton Hurley and designed to provide students and teachers with fascinating discussion prompts.”

In Songs of Learning, Rushton features Daniel and the Sea of Sound. Daniel uses technology to find his path.

Rushton gives the following prompts to accompany this video:

“Can you identify a moment when you knew you were really fascinated by something? Did you follow up on that moment by trying to learn more? If not, what keeps you from doing so now?”

It was interesting that this guy didn’t have any direction of where he planned to go but went to college with an open mind. It was this open mind that let him find new paths that he could possibly explore. I think sometimes we want students to know their direction before they’re ready; instead, we need to encourage the exploration of options.

Please check out the video and think of other prompts you might come up with. Please share.
