An interesting byproduct of this has been a renewed understanding, or reminder, of what it is like for my own students as they work each day at learning new things.
- It's tiring and takes much effort
- It's easy to get information overload
- It's important to go over new things many times until they 'settle' into a clearer understanding
- It can be hard to ask questions when you think you should know what you don't really know
So as I continue my own learning and professional development, I think of my students who, at their own level, are doing the very same thing.
