WEEK 9 Reflections

The more I play with the possibilities, even the most trivial stuff like putting the text on the right, the more I can see opportunities for learning.

Today I was in a conversation about how to get the students to see things in new ways.

I pointed out that first we need to get them to see things.

I admire my students

the ones

who

keep plugging

away until the very end

no matter how well or poorly they are doing


Too often I encounter quitters who are trying to mitigate their own short comings

by claiming that the prize doesn't matter

doing well isn't as big a deal

as just doing something

anything
