We have so many amazing learning aids available to us today that is is still fairly amazing to me that so many instructors hang all their hopes for student learning on textbook reading assignments and classroom lecture. We can do better. We have to understand that, while texts are important, they are not the be all and end all in learning. Read on, whether you currently agree or not. I've got an online presentation here that might help you or win you over.
Don't you just love reading academic content in a one-size-fits-all format? Wait, you don't? Of course you don't! Who would? What a dry and terrible way to learn!

A little over a year ago, I began this crazy new journey in my professional and personal life. I realized a life-long goal/dream, and I decided to pick up and transplant my family to a new town because of that realization. I'm not saying that it has all been a super easy journey, but I am saying that I can reflect on the last year of my life and feel satisfied that the year behind me was very well spent. And while this post might seem self-serving, I assure you that it is not. There is no way I would be writing this today if I didn't have the best wife and kids ever and the greatest work team ever assembled. |
