I love the idea of this site because it is aligned with my experience of learning. I graduated high school early and worked in the film industry because school was so boring. Over the next year I worked "hands-on-deck" on a schooner, 18 hour days making $250/wk, but loved it. I then spent the next 6 months hitchhiking around NZ and OZ and had the time of my life. This is when I really felt like I was learning about people, how to make friends quickly and read people so I could get safe rides to my daily destinations. In college I studied and wrote my thesis on offshore wind farms, which was boring, and wanted to get hands on experience to really understand wind energy. Over the next 3 years I traveled the world leading teams using big wall rock climbing techniques to inspect wind turbine blades (aka repelling with ropes). This was an amazing experience because I really learned from many different angles and could tell you more about the realities of wind energy in the real world and energy in general then people who do one specific job. I now am attacking energy from the consumer side with a company called http://wa.tt http://wa.tt, using all of my previous knowledge of the energy industry. I am learning more by doing then I ever did by listening. I follow the saying, "Don't let school get in the way of your education." (PS I don't know about the specifics of these videos, but I think the education space is blowing up in a very positive and productive way. I would really love to truly learn how to learn.)
