This is the website that has all the Youth for Human Rights videos from two classes ago...

I copied the one for education given our discussion from this evening... what is the ultimate aim of education? Personal Growth? Workforce Development? Childcare? Prison? Check out bullet number 2 in the link above...

Have a great night!

Week 15 November 30

Hello GEDIs --

EXIT SURVEY LINK:
https://survey.vt.edu/survey/entry.jsp?id=1322693275482

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a relaxing break week.

This is our final class meeting so please plan to attend, and please bring your laptops to seminar this week.

We will explore the roles, responsibilities, and opportunities for 21st-c. faculty, particularly in the realm of teaching and learning. Please make sure to read both the Parker Palmer, "A New Professional," and the Mark Carnes article, "Setting Students' Minds on Fire." (There are several short articles to skim/read through as well. Thanks to Milos for posting the YouTube video of Eric Mazur. If you want to see a five-minute edited version from the longer talk, click on the YouTube video entitled, "Erik Mazur: Confessions of a Converted Lecturer--edited.")

Please review the agenda questions posted in this week's folder. See you on Wednesday for our final gathering of the semester! -- Shelli

(Ongoing: You are still strongly encouraged to comment on an HRC blog post, and/or a post from one of Dr. Sible's students.
Thanks!)
