Richard Turere didn't take the problem lion down!

Today's post has got  almost nothing to do with Moodle. But it's got everything to do with innovation.

Lion kills Masai cow, Masai kills lion. Boy wants to save cows ...  ends up saving cows and lions. Richard, one day when you fly up there in the sky, you'll be able to spot the lions and their offspring that you've saved.



Now why can't Malaysian teenagers, instead of squandering their time on their smartphones, be more like Richard?  He tinkered and applied technology, and has ended up saving his nation's wildlife and lifestock.
What did I learn from this? Necessity is the mother of innovation! Kudos to 13-year old Richard Turere! What a genius.

When faced with a clear and present danger, he didn't take the situation 'lion' down. Pun intended. Just don't have me drawn and quoted.

The Human mod - the best Moodle mod of all

How many of us teachers and educators can teach effectively without the use of an LMS like Moodle, an LCD projector and a PowerPoint slide? Not many of us I would think. For one, a teacher needs to know his or her stuff. He (or she) should be able to hold an audience's attention with minimal technical help.

Someone forgot to bring the laptop and the PowerPoint presentation.
