Trading a Paper Clip for a House

Recently, I've been thinking that I might introduce other ideas that aren't strictly about education onto my blog. Because as every good teacher knows he/she must have lots to talk about to fill time, when necessary. Different topics will interest different kids and hopefully promote creativity. When I read this blog, about a guy who traded up from a paper clip until he got a house, my first comment out loud to myself was "THAT'S AWESOME."

Take a look at this incredible story and ask yourself how you might use it to motivate students in your classroom. I think it's pretty incredible.
