I do agree that the stories seemed disconnected, though it is a point that I try to make with those around me.<br /><br />You've attended my CE on Bloom's Taxonomy and learning objectives. You may remember that one of my first slides talks about the disconnect that is happening when an instructor says "my students just don't get it". In that slide I'm challenging instructors to be an active participant in not just the education of their students, but also in their students' academic experiences. Instructors don't have to be a passive beach upon which waves and waves of clueless students are thrown.<br /><br />Though I admit that the beach metaphor may not make any more sense than the drunk driver.Rick Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14898503436154570422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614967228722965699.post-15840555863451119242011-11-20T16:41:22.004-05:002011-11-20T16:41:22.004-05:00This is so inspiring, Shawn.

Reminding them of their potential, and that they can be just involved in what you do, as you do, is beautiful. I think you have truly grasped the message in the book. Plus, you have given me ideas for my own classroom, as how to apply the idea of enrollment much better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
