The Gregory Brothers at Gel 2010
The Gel Academy will be a wide-ranging set of online videos, explaining something. This is in homage to Sal Khan, whose Khan Academy teaches math, science, and other topics, for free, via hundreds of Youtube videos. (See Sal's Gel 2010 video.) With Sal's blessing - and enthusiasm - we are creating the Gel Academy with the talents of the Gel community.
Task: Create a brief video (one to three minutes or so) explaining something you know, something you're an expert in, or something you're passionate about. Then email the link to the video (on Youtube, Vimeo, etc.) to challenge@goodexperience.com.
Entry deadline was May 31, 2010. (Scroll down to see other videos received for the Gel Academy.)

It's easy to create a video. If you have a iPhone or Flip videocam, shoot a minute of you explaining something you're passionate about. Or to show on-screen footage like Sal Khan does, Mac users can use ScreenFlow to record activity on-screen and audio via a microphone. Windows users, try CamStudio.
