Posted: June 4th, 2010 | Author: Patrick Smits | Filed under: Personal Performance | Tags: , , , , , , | No Comments »

This is an amazing story of a simple presentation that became a world-wide discussion. “Did You Know?” started originally out as a PowerPoint presentation for a faculty meeting in August 2006 at  Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colorado, United States. The presentation “went viral” on the Web in February 2007 and, as of June 2007, had been seen by at least 5 million online viewers. Today the old and new versions of the online presentation have been seen by at least 20 million people, not including the countless others who have seen it at conferences, workshops, training institutes, and other venues.
