    Please feel free to share these links with others, and hopefully we can get more educators to really think about their own teaching. Yes, it would be great to also link up educators and facilitate deeper discussions on what it takes to facilitate effective learning in the 21st century.

    Whatever response, let's have fun (or fall asleep) with these learning resources shared :)

    I am still learning!

    Have a great day learning :)

    Warm Regards,

    Zaid

    Wow! I am feeling very inspired. I agree with all of the 'secrets' to great teaching. Although I am not convinced that everyone has the potential to be great teachers. I believe that teaching is an inherent skill. In particular the passion for teaching. I know a lot of 'good' teachers but what they are missing is that passion to be all they can be and more, I am not sure that this can be taught.
    I also think that having a sense of humour and having fun is incredibly important. Thank you for an engaging and thoughtful presentation.

    Dear Erin Freeman,

    Thanks for the great feedback. I knew there was something really important that I kind of missed out (with the exception of 'Laugh' at oneself, which was mentioned). And you just hit the bulls-eye with the sense of humour and having fun. Although, I was thinking of it while developing the presentation, it never really came out :)

    If I eventually write a paper about the '11 Secrets to Great Teaching' , 'FUN' (and sense of humour) would surely be one of these secrets :)

    Again thanks for the mind awakening feedback :)

    Have a great day learning :)

    Warm Regards,

    Zaid
