Superwoman Was Already Here! – Now Animated for Your Viewing Enjoyment!

18 months ago, I encountered this wonderful animation of a lecture given by author Dan Pink, based on his superb book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.

As I watched this amazing video, I thought, “Wouldn’t it be cool if we could do an animation like this to promote Montessori?”  After a year of periodic, half-hearted and futile searches for a creative partner that could pull this off, I stumbled upon 321 FastDraw via FaceBook. (I was a reluctant, extremely late adopter to FB, signing up only last winter. I believed I did not need or have time for another Internet distraction. I confess that I should have joined the party a lot sooner. For better or worse, not being on FB is like not having a cell phone at this point. But I digress.)

321 FastDraw has been a dream to work with and I am extremely grateful for all the hard work and enthusiasm of Diane, Ricky, Sal, Ken and the rest of the 321 FastDraw team.

When I asked my fellow Montessori caped crusader Trevor Eissler about being a sponsor for my project, he instantly, in classic Montessori style, turned the question back on me and asked if he should do a FastDraw of his own based on his excellent book, Montessori Madness: A Parent to Parent Argument for Montessori Education. I thought this was a great idea and today, tens of thousands of views later, Trevor’s video is circling the globe and has been translated into multiple languages.

Many thanks to Trevor and each of my other terrific sponsors who saw the power of this technique immediately and have been deeply supportive from my initial pitch to the final release of the video.

Please spread the word, spread the love, spread the video…Superwoman Was Already Here!
