Teaching with technology, for me, is all about repurposing technology. Such repurposing requires creative play. Our presentation at SITE 2010 was around some creative micro- and macro-design tasks that can help foster such creative repurposing. I just came across this 1964 Jonathan Winters / Jack Paar video that makes the same point but in a far more interesting manner. Enjoy.

As he said, “Here’s a stick…” he said, “Make me believe in something.”

You have to love those old time videos.
I mentioned this video to my colleague Patrick Dickson and as it turns out he is a huge fan of Jonathan Winter and sent me a huge collection of links. I include them below, for your enjoyment, dear reader.
