    DD9 found this video "cool" and I thought there may be other kids who agree. She has now decided where she wants to go to college based on this video.

    Jen, this is fantastic!! If only all teachers were like him. He reminds me of a real life Ms. Frizzle!!

    Your daughter could definitely do worse than having her sights set on MIT. I hope she makes it there one day. smile

    very cool video. I wish I had professors like that in college! Maybe it's worth the zillion dollar price tag of college these days for such excellent entertainment value, in addition to educational value.

    The guy is awesome. Video of his lectures is available on the Internet and are really worth watching. Definitely memorable and forgettable.

    MIT sounds like a nice choice smile

    I downloaded all his lectures free from ITunes and I plan to "take" his course for fun. Maybe DS6 and DS3 will sit with me, or maybe I'll just watch for myself. We'll see.

    Either way, ain't the Internet grand!? laugh
