Great stuff. Motivates me to get back into the classroom to test this on geology students. Actually, without realizing I was doing it, this is what lead to productivity for students taken to Bering Glacier. Here is the glacier - now do something creative and productive. Lots of examples throughout history. The composers, the artists, the scientists, the philosophers, the Nobel Prize winners. When you think about it, it becomes obvious. Thanks, Jimmy, great stuff.
