Immediacy in the Classrooms Reports keep coming in about professors at distinguished institutions who are using Experiments in Immediacy videos as tools to inspire discussions about how to reinvent, if not revolutionize, students' everyday lives. Just a few who have made use of Immediacy in this way:
Shawn Micallef in Toronto Brian Milbrand at Medaille College
Teachers: stay current. Join this pedagogical trend. |

I need help with a new series!
Time and Time Again I wondered: What kinds of videos can we make with material from our own daily activities? Is there beauty in the boring, mundane, tedious, routine things that we do?
Two ways to participate: 1. Send me videos you've made documenting the banal things that you do . I'll re-enact them and then edit them together in a way that elevates them from the ordinary and makes them extraordinary. 2. Ask me if you can re-enact something I've documented. That's how Little Clips came about (at right). I asked my friend to create a similar video of his own ritual act of toenail clipping. The result is thrilling, see for yourself. 3. Either way, write me. |
