Bob,
Thanks for the heads up about Free to Choose. I have the book and remember the
series. I will look on the web for the programs to see them again.
As educators, you and Dr. Dee will not be as surprised as I was with the section
on education in the Abundance book. It seems there is a huge desire in kids
no matter their location or social status to learn, which is driving this digitization
of learning and making it so universally available. One of the to me
unexpected aspects of the book is the emphasis on the "bottom billion" of the
six billion or so people on the planet. They will have perhaps the most dramatic
improvement in their lives, but the rest of us will have the huge benefit of
this until now untapped brain power.
As for learning while driving, I have an older iPod mounted in my car, loaded with
lecture courses from the company named The Great Courses, formerly known as
The Teaching Company. I have bought about dozens of college-level courses from
them over the years. For the most part they are excellent. I would be smarter
if I had a longer commute!
My apologies to those not interested for dragging the discussion off course.
Terry

Sure Neal,
http://tinyurl.com/876dxqe
There will be some similar but unrelated links pop up but what you're looking for
are parts 1 thru 10 of a 10-part series. I have the series captured on a
CD. If you'd like to bypass the downloading process, drop me a direct email with
an address. I'll send you a copy. That applies to anyone on the List who would
like to exploit the genius of a great teacher.
Terry,
I'm not so sure we're 'off topic' here. I've been doing this q&a work for over
23 years. I started on Avsig back when Compuserve was king. As I look back over
this experience, I recall quantum jumps in technology. Within the state of our
'art' we had adaptations of lightweight automotive alternators to legacy architectures.
We exploited the rise of the RG battery. We witnessed the demise
of the vacuum pump. GPS systems that cost us $30K a pop in 1985 begat $200 hand-helds
that would let us fly custom 'non-precision' approaches with 10x the accuracy
of anything the FAA chose to call 'non-precision'. Electronic ignition
has evolved through a number of iterations to become quite commonplace and very
affordable. We enjoyed the rise of the glass cockpit. All manner of software
driven tools found their way into the cockpit which added to our confidence
and competence as pilots. Those are the highlights I can think of a the moment.
What about the next 20 years?
I don't see any really bright stars on the horizon. Lithium batteries are lurking
in the wings but nothing really confidence building happening there yet. We
have tremendous tools for stuffing a lot of 'kitchen sink' features into our
panel mounted toys . . . but what kinds of things do we see that will make quantum
jump performance in our airplanes? Will they go still faster on less fuel?
Be lighter and easier to build? Less expensive? Maybe, but it's not clear to
me now.
Okay, what is our role here on the List to ease the way and/or expand the horizons
of then next 20 years intake of new enthusiasts? What kind of resource can
we build for that kid that stands at the bottom of the driveway peering into
the open garage door with wonder at the machine which is slowly coming into being?
It's obvious that pubic education is providing fewer tools, fewer examples of simple-ideas,
fewer demonstrations of recipes for success that go into successful
completion and competent operation of an OBAM aircraft.
So that's the core of my thoughts right now. What SHOULD this List look like 20
years from now . . . and can we make it happen?

Thanks Bob -
I just re-read the previous. Now my face is all red... :)
I'm really not too lazy to do a simple search - just completely missed the
YouTube reference.

I have been trying to figure out how to download the "Free to Choose" videos
to my computer. Bob mentioned that he had done it. Does anyone know how he
accomplished that?

Thank you for the recommendation. I'll get it. Speaking of "abundance', I'm
finding it easy to be overwhelmed by the quantity and scope of good data
available off the 'net for the time and effort to download . . . THEN comes
the investment of time to absorb it.
I had seen some of Milton Friedman's work in 10 minute chunks . . . but
somebody turned me on to "Free to Choose" in 10 segments and downloadable
from YouTube. I captured all the videos and now need to get them watched. I
think I may strip off the audio so I can listen to them in the car. I do
spend a lot of time on the road these days.
Dr. Dee turned me onto Kahn. She too has an intense interest in the video
mini-lecture technique. There are a few important points in her statistics
classes that are common stumbling blocks for some students. While fully
willing to explain the material again, students who are already on board are
not too happy about 'back tracking'. We've decided to do some mini-lectures
on those sicking points that can be accessible to any Bethany student 24/7.
The hope is that these productions will bring the lagging students up at
their own speed/convenience, provide good review for the rest, and make
progress in the class room match the syllabus. We have similar situations
here on the List in what has been called 'frequently asked questions'.
An exciting 'new' concept, at least for me. Once I'm comfortable with the
mechanics of production and we have Dr. Dee's most pressing needs addressed,
I'll be looking for suggestions from folks here on the List for topics to be
'canned' in a similar fashion.
Thanks for the tip!
Bob . . .
