Video of the week - The pleasure of finding things out
Video of the week - The pleasure of finding things out

Filmed in 1981 for the BBC, Richard Feynman talks about the sheer delight and wonder of discovering and finding things out. His style of relating his experiences and understanding of the world is engaging, enthralling and inspirational. It perfectly illustrates the beauty of learning and how we personalise knowledge. His considered perspective on receiving honours is most refreshing.

Although Feynman is defined as a scientist (he was involved in the development of the atomic bomb, which he later indicated with some regret), his appreciation of the arts is clearly evident and immensely important to him, with a love of playing bongos and "doing things for the fun of it"!

This is a long video, but infinitely rewarding and well worth investing the time to watch. Enjoy!

BGfL will be featuring a video each week which can expand the teaching and learning experience.

Video is one of the most powerful tools for teaching and for learning.

Why? Because visual learning offers an alternative learning style that engages the user instantly and powerfully, allowing effective communication of complex information.

We aim to offer a mixed medley of videos to suit all tastes, ranging from reflective, inspirational  TED talks speeches to practical ‘how to’ practical demos.

If you have a video you wish to recommend, then please let us know.
