Thought One
When teachers are given materials, ancillaries, they use them passively. But when they make their own, develop them themselves, they are invested and students pick up their enthusiasm.
Thought Two
Testing – how about offering students not a test but an opportunity to write as much as they know about a topic or a variety of topics?
Question: open or closed notes/book?
How credit it? Grade it? Do we have to?
What do we do with it?
