Two Derek Sivers Videos

Here are two videos by Derek Sivers. This first one talks about leaders, followers and starting a movement and is shows a pretty funny example. I chose two of his videos because they are simple and short, but the message is very clear. I think short videos like this is best for young students because if the video goes on and on, they lose interest and stop paying attention. I think a video like this would be best played anytime before group work. Maybe before a big group project, it would be wise to show this video so the natural born leader will be confident to lead and the followers will not feel so bad about following.



This second video is also good for group work, or for a critical thinking exercise. This can show students that just because someone else has come up with a different idea does not mean it is wrong. This video shows the value of diversity, which I think is a concept everyone should realize.
