The awesome Matt Miller (@jmattmiller) created this sketchnote of a recent presentation I did linking the 5E learning cycle to the Hero's Journey. Thanks Matt!!
Notice any similarities?
Whether it be through modeling good pedagogy, bad pedagogy, or metaphorically alluding to effective pedagogy, the following five video clips inspire me to be a better teacher. Enjoy!

Craiglist Joe TrailerInspired by Austin Kleon's Show Your Work and Daedelaus Howell's Story Lab I have added a new tab to cycelsoflearning.com called Projects: Each month or so I plan to choose three projects that a) I am very passionate about and b) are incomplete, to work on publicly on this site via a linked website or a view only google doc. For the month of July three major projects rise to the top:
Recently I watched the documentary "Craiglist Joe". Check out the below trailer to learn more:
This documentary was genius in its negation of technology but also simultaneous ability to make the watcher sub-consciously understand that its hero's journey would not have been possible without technology. The story's narrator embarks on a challenge where he lives for 30 days on nothing other than connections made via Craigslist. During the process he encounters a myriad of characters and experiences; some normal, others extraordinary; some heart wrenching and others hurtful. In the end, he is changed, and the viewer is taken on a whirlwind of emotions. When the movie was over, I was struck with an anti-technology emotion. The narrator experiences so many real, vivid and face-to-face interactions that in only 30 days, shaped him and the viewer; none which directly referenced or relied upon technology. Then it hit me: This move was only made possible, BECAUSE of technology. BECAUSE of the internet. BECAUSE of Craigslist. Craigslist Joe is a nice metaphor, I feel, of how technology integration should be in our classrooms and schools: subtle, purposeful, powerful and quiet.
