"strange" behavior + video = excellent teaching opportunity

Holiday video isn't exactly a method of teaching technology, but animal/insect behavior is such an excellent way to engage folks and introduce all sorts of complex concepts. In my estimation good teaching can be accomplished by piquing the learner's interest (by shocking their auto-cynicism into taking a break) and then being available to answer the inevitable questions. Especially if the teacher can answer the questions with those meaty 'answers' that are mostly 'questions'

I think this would be an excellent intro to information technology, biology, human-psychology, networking, etc...
