I really enjoyed the interaction of participants in the forums while taking courses. Even when dealing with content areas that I feel I have "mastered", I never had difficulty looking at a different perspective that enabled me to consider additional viewpoints. I recognize the power and influence of creative professionals discussing key topics and sharing perspectives and solutions to real-world issues we educators face everyday.
I would highly encourage every participant to enter into each course with an open mind and an open notebook....
Learning is a never-ending process as amply demonstrated by these courses.
I am a colleague of Samuel Balanoff & I agree with him, this has been a tremenously beneficial learning experience as a professional instructor. I am pleasantly surprised by how much immediately beneficial information I learned. I would strongly recommend this course experience for any & all college (and perhaps high school as well) instructors.
One can learn a lot by seeing others' perspectives on the topics being discussed.
