Why I teach:
There are moments in the classroom when you realize that you put things in the right order and light bulbs are going on. I enjoy seeing students think out loud and make connections, seeing things they didn’t see before.
What I’ve learned:
• Teaching is not easy so it’s never boring.
• You can’t tell by looking at a student what they’re thinking but you sure can tell in their writing.
• Travel is the best thing you can do.
• The Internet is changing the world.
• Universities need to adapt.
• Global warming is a serious problem.
• I’m really glad a chocolate bar opened in Reno.
• I love my kids.
• I prefer e-mail to talking on the telephone.
• We need to take more time for conversations with friends and family.
