How would you define a moment?

I love how this video takes absolutely random visuals and makes a story out of them… a story about the value of time, or at least single moments in time. This video changes my breathing pattern, it alters my thoughts, moment by moment, in a way that says more than words can. I think too often we let moments slip by when they should be cherished. Take a moment now and enjoy…

David Deubel, whom I first connected with a while back on Classroom2.0 and other Ning networks, wrote about this video here: The Dimensions of the present moment. He takes this a step further by editing out an adult scene and creating lessons for this on the EFL Classroom 2.0! Ning, (you need to be a member to see this but it is free to join). I love it when teachers take a resource like this and make it meaningful to the classroom… Way to go David!
