Alan November

I went to Alan November's session yesterday afternoon.  I have heard him speak before and he delivered again.  One of the things that I think draws a lot of people to Alan is that one can truly tell when they listen to him that he is passionate about students & their learning.  That was again the focus of today's discussion.  he noted how important it is for students to be connected to the work they are doing, that they feel as if what they are producing is helping others, not just for their own grade.  He talked about having students create online tutorials for other students.  He also talked about giving students specific jobs while discussing topics in class that way there is a class collection of notes/links/images/own thoughts.  Great job Alan.
