Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview:
Thursday’s essay is called, "How to reach students in today’s technology-driven world." The point of this essay isn’t really what these two gentlemen [playing Lewis & Clark] said during their talk, it’s about what they did to make history come alive for their listeners. In a Time magazine article entitled “History Goes Hollywood” (September 18, 2006, pp. 64-66), Nathan Thornburgh points out that schools are teaching less history, “so kids have less of an idea about what happened ...or why it matters (p. 64).”
How to reach students in today's technology-driven world
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
Teachers can’t dress up in costumes every day and use a wide array of props to make their points. Daily lessons do not need to be dumbed down and the intellectually challenging assignments eliminated and replaced by vapid video presentations—less in-depth education and more seduction. And teacher-education programs don’t need to begin offering circus training, costume designing, acting, and text messaging courses. This is obvious. But what is the answer? How do educators make certain they are reaching today’s students and making the kind of impression that makes learning—knowledge acquisition—enjoyable enough to inspire a lifetime of continued interest in further learning?

Thursday’s essay is called, “Family members as role models: The first school for young children." Valuing children as human beings, revealing consistency between what you do and what you expect children to do, creating a positive and supportive home atmosphere, accentuating the positive, and modeling and explaining effective, expected behaviors, are just some of the ways adults can influence children. This essay is about the important role family members play in influencing children.
Family members as role models: The first school for young children
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
There is no doubt that parents are a child’s first teachers and role models. Usually, too, children are more affected by what their parents do than by what their parents say. They learn how to behave by seeing how their mothers and fathers behave, and they follow their example. It is like a computer’s default pattern. That is, when given no specific instructions on how the computer is supposed to deal with a situation, it falls back on the programming it has stored in its memory, and it uses the instructions in that programming.

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview:
Thursday’s essay is called, “People don’t want to know how to live a responsible, accountable, mature life—and they don’t care." Most people watch the no-brainer, lackluster, uninspired, dull, and unimaginative entertainment provided on television or the big screen because of their own slovenly inertia. They become immersed in video games, text messaging, chat rooms, e-mail messaging, Internet surfing and other mindless pursuits to fill their boring, nothing lives. People don’t want to know how to live a responsible, accountable, mature life—and they don’t care.
People don't want to know how to live a responsible, accountable, mature life---and they don't care."
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
Despite the way I conducted my courses, and despite the basic philosophies I believed in that guided my behavior, I may have over estimated my audience. How did I arrive at this conclusion? I discovered it when reading a book, The Healthy Guide to Unhealthy Living: How to Survive Your Bad Habits (Simon & Schuster, 2006), by Dr. David J. Clayton. Clayton is a medical doctor who is a graduate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He has an undergraduate degree in chemical biology with honors from Stevens Institute of Technology. He trained in internal medicine at Boston University and the Scripps Clinic and Research Institute in La Jolla, California.

It's time for William Shakespeare!
Our new videos series is Who Wrote Shakespeare, Part 1 by Edgar E. Willis. Edgar explains in this introduction that throughout the world William Shakespeare's works have received more translations than any other work except the Bible. The towering reputation is based on two narrative poems, Venus and Adonis and The rape of Lucrece, 154 sonnets that are unsurpassed in their craftsmanship, and some 37 plays. The author told wonderful stories that created characters of such depth and richness that they exist in our minds as real people. He wrote passage after passage of such transcendent brilliance that absolutely takes your breath away. When you read one of these passages as Edgar has on many occasions, and thought, "it couldn't possibly have been said better." After centuries, the question of whether William Shakespeare actually wrote these works is still being debated? Edgar asks, "Who wrote Shakespeare?" He helps you decide for yourself.
[Video goes here] OOPS! Not yet... we will post another blog post with, Who wrote William Shakespeare, by Edgar E. Willis.

Announcing the release of Part 2... Anthony Weaver's interview with Edgar E. Willis about his memoir of World War II, "Civilian in an Ill-fitting Uniform." Part 2 of Anthony's interview picks up from a previous question in Part 1. Events had happened to Edgar that were either pure luck or just because of the circumstance of the moment. Part 2 starts with Edgar's second story... his pure luck Navy physical. As we progressed, I asked about the captains Edgar served under and his best explanation? He reads from his memoir. We finish off part 2 with, "That's the way the navy does it!"
Having trouble viewing the video? Click here and watch Part 2 of the interview with Edgar E. Willis on YouTube.
Did you see Part 1 of Anthony Weaver's interview with Edgar E. Willis? In Part 1 of the interview I ask Edgar about his inspiration for the book, the reason for the title, and why he decided to include his life before and after his service.
Click here to watch Part 1 of Edgar's interview on YouTube.
Also released last week was the new video, "How to make a Viral Video-Based on the KISS theory." Illustrator Anthony Weaver and author Lynne Hall have put together a coaching video on How to Make a Viral Video, based on the K.I.S.S. Theory (Keep it simple... stupid). Instead of a technical approach explaining camera types, lenses, programs used to produce videos, this is a fun look at being in front of the camera and getting used to the bright lights shining on you. Anthony and Lynne show you how they shot their video, including the end result!

Thursday’s essay is called, “Having a remote to get us through life?" Imagine along with me in this essay what it would be like in your life if you had a remote control that gave you the possibility for mute, fast forward, reverse, do over, channel selection, slow motion, delete, and cut and paste? How would your life be different? I'm certain it would be far different than it is now . . . and then some!
Having a remote to get us through life?
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
In this age of technology, scientists need not stop with remote-controlled garage-door openers and TVs, invent a remote to help me get through life. And while you’re at it, put on the remote a number of buttons for future use—so that I can program them whatever way I choose and whenever I need them. Maybe I’ll program one to make me a very wealthy man, another to bring me many new friends, and a third.....hmmmmmm.....maybe with the third I’ll program it to keep me forever young!

Thursday’s essay is called, “Examining the paranormal helps us understand how the world works." There are many paranormal and supernatural claims. Psychics, astrologers, alien abductions, alternative medicines, ghosts, and life after death are just a few of them. But when people have personal experiences with any of these, those occurrences offer them a powerful and persuasive reason to believe in them, especially if they can’t explain them. In this essay I examine their "reasons for believing." It is a delightful essay that offers a closer examination.
Examining the paranormal helps us understand how the world works
by Richard L. Weaver II
Excerpt:
Many people have had psychic experiences or episodes with things that science cannot explain. Whether it is extrasensory perception (ESP), haunted houses, ghosts of the spirits of dead people, telepathy, clairvoyance, astrology, communicating mentally with someone who has died, witches, reincarnation, or channeling, seventy-five percent of Americans profess at least one paranormal belief according to a recent Gallup survey. The most popular is extrasensory perception, mentioned by 41%, followed closely by a belief in haunted houses (37%). Only 27% of Americans, according to the same survey, believe in none of these.
