Hello HESers. We will be convening very shortly. By now your paper is in the hands of your discussant, so please take a little time to attend to that other dimension of scholarly work that is our common responsibility: communicating ideas, perspectives, insights, ... to a new generation. There is no such thing as one right way to teach. There are many right ways - and we can learn a lot that will make our own way better by seeing examples of what works for others in their classes. This cross fertilization of ideas - as it is in our research - is the source of creative growth in our teaching. Jim has offered us a wonderful opportunity to do such sharing at the HES conference by arranging for the display of posters about teaching ideas: "One thing that works for me". So far the response to this opportunity has been less than inspiring. BUT, it's not too late. In these last days before you leave, get a poster board, print a title on it, and paste on a description of something you do in your class that works for you. Don't be shy, don't be modest. It need not be fancy: It's not the junior high science fair, no one is going to grade you. Just share one idea. Everyone will appreciate your willingness to nurture the rest of us. Just share one idea. If enough of us participate, the gains can be quite significant. The thing that makes the HES so special is that it is a very nurturing community. This is an opportunity to do that for teaching. Just share one idea. Try it, you'll like it. And the rest of us will appreciate it. See ya soon. Don't forget your poster.
