Where the Hell is Matt- Evolution

February 9, 2013 - Featured Carousel, Geography, Global Learning, Video

I have been following the “Where the Hell is Matt” videos since 2006. I always thought the video is a great hook for students into geography. There are three versions available with a clear evolution of Matt growing as he travels around the world.

From dancing in isolation in different locations around the world in 2006. Matt is doing “his thing”.

In 2008, he starts our dancing “his way” alone to then be joined by locals who are imitating his dance moves.

Finally in 2012, Matt is embracing the locals, by dancing WITH them, learning their cultural dances and being part of the World.

Hey, great progression how 1 person goes from doing things “solo” to connecting and being a part of it! Goes along well with our learning in the COETAIL course of being connected. First we start out alone and then evolve into networked people who join with others to learn together. Thanks for sharing!
