What My Students Taught Me

Ten years of teaching.

That’s a decade of assignments, critiques, conversations, and growth. But the greatest lessons didn’t come from the front of the classroom, they came from the students.

Here’s what they’ve taught me:

— We’re all still kids in some way, wanting to be seen, heard, and understood.

— Being open-minded is the start of real learning. Closed minds close doors.

— Technology exhausts them. And yet, by design, they can’t disconnect.

— Play makes learning stick. If joy is missing, curiosity fades.

— And Lo-fi Girl really does help with focus.

If you’ve ever taken a class with me, I’d love to hear:

What’s something you learned, from me, or from yourself, along the way?

Here’s to the learners. You’ve shaped me more than you know.
