Скачать или смотреть Novelty as a learning mechanism | Anne Magnan | TEDxLander

Join Anne Magnan as she explores the power of novelty as a catalyst for inspiration and motivation. Her presentation asks a simple question - when was the last time you deliberately put yourself in a situation where you were a complete novice? Anne relates her own experience of quitting her job in the city to move to Lander and experience the outdoor life at NOLS. This, despite never having intentionally spent any time outdoors. Come listen as Anne shares the strength of novelty in learning. A fan of dark chocolate, good food, and better conversations, Anne initially came to Wyoming in 2006 to take a NOLS semester. After three months tromping in the wilderness, a chance encounter with an icy sidewalk led her back to the mountain west.

Anne’s passionate about experiential education and presently leads NOLS Custom Education, a team charged with creating customized educational experiences for other organizations. She and her team work with anyone interested in pushing themselves and learning how to function better as a team member – be they NASA astronaut candidates, 7th grade students, members of the military, firefighters, or MBA students.

Anne’s driven by opportunities to ask interesting questions, spur people to think a little bit harder, introduce people to each other, and improve her Turkish get up. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
