Educational View: Student Engagement Via Classroom Culture
Bio: I’m an educator, author, blogger, leader of professional development workshops — all of it centered around making education fun for students. Why settle for routine and boring when learning can be creative, active and just plain fun?
What I enjoyed most about teaching was developing my students' love for the same subjects I enjoyed learning, making otherwise tedious content vibrant and engaging. My reward was viewing the mixture of recognition and joy on the face of a student who suddenly "got it," hearing animated voices raised in hot debate or gleeful collaboration, and repeatedly receiving the question “What are we doing today?” asked with genuine excitement. All of this was exhilarating for me. Now I get to share the best of what I've learned along the way through my writings and workshops.
