I am so glad to see you recognize the depth of this experience. I appreciate you, the other students and the instructors inviting the world to witness and participate in a course truly driven by the learning. I hope to model some of our new program after this course. You've obviously gotten the most important message of the course; sharing! Keep up the great work you are doing! Beautiful reflection!

You applied what you learned and your students benefit. For the past three years, I asked my own two high school age childrens' math teachers to create videos that could be shared online as they were struggling with understanding the math concepts once they got home. My daughter would tell me that she understand pre-cal in class but couldn't when she got home. All the math teachers had interactive WBs at the time but they refused to use the record feature to help support their students learning. (Is this educational malpractice?) Anyway, go forth and spread the knowledge - to other educators and especially to the students with whom you will work! Yes, there will be pitfalls (guaranteed) but the risks are worth the rewards. Thank you for this post. What a wonderful tribute to your instructor and a wonderful reflection on all you learned from this course. You applied what you learned and your students benefit.
