Student challenges include adjusting to a
new method of
learning, increased confusion when multiple perspectives are
discussed, and negative reactions to being monitored.
I've been on the road,
learning about damaging and sustainable agricultural
methods (and a big corn - to - ethanol plant) in Iowa, meeting with hundreds of science - oriented high school students in Houston to
discuss energy and innovation and speaking about how
new opportunities for globally sharing and shaping insights and information can be a prime route toward sustaining human progress on a finite planet (and on a tight budget).
