Dear Paul, I am not a teacher but have spent a lot of time with students and others who are with students. This RESONATES loud and strong. Please do not apologize for reiterating; some things need to be repeated often, they reaffirm what we believe, they give us courage on the path, they invite responses different or the same to explore. After all, you may have noticed our friend, the man with the hat, Harrison Owen repeats many things quite often: *sit in a circle*, create a bulletin board, open a marketplace, and go to work!!
With a touch of humor but on a serious note. Thank you for sharing Paul, Suzanne On Wed, Sep 11, 2013 at 2:23 PM, Paul Nunesdea <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear List, > > I am just departing from Zurich ETH (ranked 12 in top 100 universities) > where I have made a presentation (The Perfect Learning Experience) in one > of their Summer Schools*.* > > I have designed my session in order to interact with the participants from > all parts of the world and I was really surprised to see how the 'spirit' > of OST was so evidently present. > > Just at the start of my presentation well before I have started to talk > about OST I asked this question - what do you think is the number one > expectation of students in the XXI century classroom?
