The Walk On!

 

I have been told to always start a presentation with a personal story. I’ll keep mine short. 

When I was younger I learned that sometimes things that are fun are really great learning experiences. 

That does not mean they are all that good for you. 

There are times when I wish to make faculty learning opportunities fun. I try to resist. Because of my background. 

But I can’t. So I do. Here is that story. 

We have made some pdfs about teaching. We have made some web pages about teaching. Some videos about teaching and some slick workshops about teaching. Some full semester or year long courses about teaching, and of course we are always on call, ready to help.

Still the learning is slow. As it should be. Learning is not a fast thing. Those are epiphanies. Epiphanies are rare, and usually take a lot of work to have one.

So one might wonder, “What is the right amount of time needed to learn? 

The ds106 

 

Ds106 sort of introduced me the the idea of a “themed classroom” space on the web. 

 

The Daily Create and 20 Minutes a Day

 

 

THE MEAT AND POTATOES OF THE SONG

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d like to say that I have never asked faculty to stoop so low as to, well, say use crayons in a PD event, but that would not be true. 

The symposium agenda was a coloring book too.
