Thanks to the Michael Condra award, I was invited to a teaching and learning leaders day at the little Cat conservation area. It is a beautiful area. I saw an amazing blue bird. Not quite sure what it was as I had never seen one before. It looked a bit bigger than a jay and had brilliant blue colouring on top, white underneath. I could have watched him all day. I learned lots of eye opening teaching and learning ideas.
We talked about teaching students to be "citizens" and that failure and recovery is important to learn.
Brian, Peter W. and I had a conversation after we had just done a student perspective exercise and at the end Peter said "Is this an old person conversation?". And, yes, it was.
Also, from the award, there was an article in the Gazette: http://www.queensu.ca/gazette/stories/just-ask-aphra
It was a good day, now need to get something out from the freezer for dinner tomorrow and sleep!
