As a result, the urgency for some interventions has increased and there is certainly an opportunity to press forward with some discussions and thinking in this area.

I’m also feeling parents are in that same category as teachers. A general understanding of what spaces their children is participating in and with whom.

We don’t necessarily call it a maker space but I think it would qualify. We’ve got a couple of really great teachers teaching in that space (it’s bookable) and if you wanted to connect with one let me know!

I love that you added a little bit of a personal touch to it. It feels like I know you a little bit better now. Lynda.com is the best isn’t it? you should check out the David Allen course “Getting Things Done”, my action plan was inspired by it.

Keep Posting!

I wholeheartedly agree that the flipped method is a powerful method when used thoughtfully and deliberately to cover material that is practice based and requires a good deal of one-on-one interaction.

I’m wondering if another way to enhance the experience is to give the students the ability to comment or question at time stamped…Read more
