@mdvfunes @karencang @dnorman @econproph @kenbauer Thanks, Mariana! I know the lack of awareness about open ed & OER is a big problem. We are also not the "normal" ones in the sense that I fear some people, when seeing what actually goes on in some of our classes (e.g., mine) might wonder: hmmm...my tax money is going to that useless stuff? we need to also argue for the *value* of things that seem not immediately tied to "a job."

My teaching evaluations just came in.

I need a drink.

Many *awesome* comments but some harsh ones like "I recommend him if you really want to learn but not if you don't"....

@kenbauer @dnorman @econproph @clhendricksbc @karencang @mdvfunes I am dealing with very similar things right now; I'm not even close to having implemented anything like what I want to do but the pushback is still very real...

The trick to peer-teaching and active learning is that the student can't be a passive observer. But that's what many of my students feel like is SUPPOSED to happen in a classroom.

Culture is a HELL of a thing.

@ShorterPearson @kenbauer @dnorman @econproph @clhendricksbc @mdvfunes I have been thinking a lot lately (and haivng some discussion with colleagues) about student motivation. What motivates our students (or anyone)? If they aren't motivated by what we offer them in our classes - then I am asking myself- why? Not an easy question.
