A Lot of Love

“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 A Lot of Love, Rushton features technology that helps people with memory loss by pairing Google Earth with a stationary bike.

Rushton gives the following prompts to accompany this video:

“If you’re in a class, ask three other students what they liked about the video. If not, share the video with friends and ask what stands out to them. You may learn something new about someone you know!

And when you’re ready, take a look at the comments on the YouTube page (linked below). Do any of the comments strike you as particularly powerful?”

I like this video because it shows how even though a person was frustrated, he tried to help because he loved the other person. It would be a great discussion to talk about the things we do because of love. For teenagers, it might be a good time to talk about how peers might use the “love” word to manipulate them into doing something which might not be a wise decision. It could also open the discussion for those who are dealing with health situations at home and the stress it causes many family members.

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