Passion
Tonight’s Twitter #edchat centered on helping students discover their passions. I had a few thoughts to add, specifically that we need to incorporate non-contingent interactions. By talking to them and listening intently during non-academic conversations, we can let them know we value their interests. I also tweeted about inviting guest speakers to our classrooms and allowing students to question them freely (although within certain boundaries). With Skype, we have access to professionals all around the world in real time.
My own passions center around learning, teaching, and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
