It’s been a long time I haven’t been active online. I must admit I felt I needed a break from the Web World (only social media and my blog, of course) to pause, think, and not do it because of obligation (which is followed by guilt if not done) or feeling that I might fall behind from the rest of the world. So here’s a post that has long been in my mind but hadn’t seen myself to sit down and materialize my thoughts.
It started with a question years ago when I was teaching: How can I make my students more motivated and hungry to learn for the joy of learning not just for grades. I used different techniques but it led to one key principle (I’ll share with you shortly) and it worked for the majority of my students (not all, of course). When I watched Angela Duckworth’s TED talk and what she had wondered in her classes, it all came back to me.
