Abstract:

Creating an active learning environment does not require thinking outside the box as much as it requires moving around comfortably inside the box and looking at things from multiple angles. It requires moving from What do I want them to know? to What do I want them to think about? What do I want them to experience? What do I want them to see? What do I want them to realize? My goal is to share the thought processes, ponderings, and inspirations behind some of my creations. My hope is this will enable others to find a way to access their own ideas and, perhaps, provide the encouragement some may need to act bravely upon those ideas.
