The Saddest TV Commercial Ever: Silence of Love (English Subtitle)

"Remember to care for those who care for you".

Johnny the Bagger

A lesson learnt from a boy with Down's Syndrome.

As an educator, you too can make a difference in the lives of your students. All it takes is a little thoughtfulness injected with your love for them.

Greet them in the morning, give a high-five as you pass them, punch them at their knuckles, a pat on the back...

A simple praise to elevate their negative self perception.

Why is it that I feel you already know all these?

=P

Facing the Giants - "Your very best!"

One of the most inspiring clips I've ever seen.

"Your very best!"

"Keep Trying!"

"Keep going!"

"10 more steps!"

"You can!"

"You are in the end zone!"

And if you analyse accordingly:

1) Invitation to commitment (even when they can't see the end)
2) Voice of motivation
3) Voice of persuasion
4) Voice of guidance
5) Voice of empowerment
6) Voice of celebration

Does your conversation with you students sound something like the above?

If not, it's not too late to start. =)

Mr. Bean and the Invisible Drum Set

Looking at the precision of his acting, one can only wonder how many hours of practice went into it. It wasn't just him, but the SounFX crew as well.

Teachers, inspire your students to practice, continue and persevere in everything!

Reverse Graffiti - Cleaning with a difference

Just when you thought that there was no future in cleaning jobs, think again.

As educators, what we need is a paradigm shift. We need to re-look at existing societal structures and carve out fresh niches for our students. We give them hope in a world where there seems to be no hope. We learn to embrace learner differences.

Pick me! - The voice of those who have practiced enough

Most of the time, personal success comes to those who practice, practice and practice. It very rarely comes easily and effortlessly. Even as you witness the skills and precision that these men possess, don't be mistaken. It could not have been without hours, months and years of training.

You can do it too!
