A man’s voice is booming from my CD player as I sit this Tuesday morning putting the final touches on my lesson. Layered over it are the soft cajolings of a woman encouraging me to “let it rain and clear it out.”
I’m not sure of the name of the song, but it’s inspired many of my female students to enter my room and dance. It’s a dedication and energy I wish to tap in to when I’m teaching.
They flock in and out of the room, some watching, some participating, everyone wanting to be a part of the experience. How do you get this kind of excitement and thought about learning?
I want the best way to subvert this culture. Yes, technology is where they live, but most of my students use technology as a means to get to their real homes – their music.
In the five minutes of writing this post, the number of students has gone from 10 to 20. They are 100% engaged in what is going on.
The bell has rung. The experience is over.
Lightning in a bottle.
More later.
Cool! Way to go…
