World-Shaker

See what a group of engineers did ​​to encourage people to use the stairs in Stockholm.
About 97% of the population took the escalator instead of the stairs.
A simple and fun idea to break the routine and encourage people into a more healthy habit.

I love every single thing about this.

"Does fun still exist in learning and teaching today? Of course it does and quite rightly so. We must continue to keep fun in our teaching, to keep fun as part of the learning experience. We must never let the mindsets of the few in power think they can remove fun by insisting on rigour. We must remember why we became teachers and continue to breath life into our classrooms through engaging, inspiring and fun filled learning experiences. For if the fun was ever removed, learning and teaching would become nothing more than a monotony."

— Is fun disappearing from learning? A warning.

Two fun tech tricks to impress your friends

I promise these are sans April Foolery.

1) The negative side of a AA battery produces a similar electric current to that of your finger, which means most laptop track pads will interpret it as a finger if you drag it around. Very fun to see the first time around. Just remember to keep it flat on the trackpad (also, it may be the positive side; I don’t have a battery handy to reverify).

2) While you can’t see the spectrum of light your remote controls produce, the camera on your cell phone or iPod can interpret it. Turn on the camera, point the remote at it, and press a button. You should see the light in the viewfinder.
