Robert Ballard on ocean exploration. -- Hoover's Business Insight Zone
great blog; insightful; topic is Robert Ballard, a Wichita, KS native, has a TED talk at this URL. If you are a teacher, you need to know about Dr. Ballard and his work in Science and Education through the Jason Project
he points out ideas of preconceived notions and where they can lead us; don't accept the most obvious (to you) as true; focus on real learning-
The whole thing is worth watching, not least for Ballard’s emphasis on how we need to attract kids to the wonders of science long before they reach college. But I think there’s a business lesson to be drawn from his talk, too — and not just that we might start mining precious metals from the ocean’s depth
