In prepping for the ScienceOnline 2010 conference, I dug up this TV report. Don’t know why it took five months for me to catch this but check out the closing banter between the anchors. Love this line “Education can be entertaining.”

Outstanding! Who knew “education can be entertaining”? It’s nice to see this news organization not only advertising the ScieCheer website, but also showing an example of how it is working- a teacher actually using it! Big kudos to Ms. Gerardi and her students! Many kudos to CW Philly as well!
What a great hit! It’s also interesting that they start from the common conception that science is cool for kids then quickly move to where you’re trying to bring people — the understanding that it’s cool for everybody.
Thanks, Paul and Aaron!
