I also think health is a major factor in education. In terms of mindfulness I have to agree with what you have posted, because of sources. Our ways of thinking should contribute to our own state of health, and not cause to much stress and fatigue. Of course it is a good thing in small doses, I believe that having a healthy mindset and body can prevent many problems we associate with stress and overuse. Taking breaks, going outside, doing other things that are not school related have major impacts for me and my sanity.

Hey Allie, I think this is cool and innovative. Students seem more active when their teacher is, so Presentations and class projects are a great way to get this done. I enjoyed reading this!
Comment on To Blog or not to Blog by psalmonsblog
Hey Sarah,
I agree that the excitement is gone in learning to some extent. How do we engage with one another is a goal of human interaction. But why blog? I believe that at least expressing yourself in some way can attribute to a richer learning experience for everyone. Who cares if they read you now, maybe one day everyone will read you. Like one of the videos demonstrated, it is a learning experience and it helps us as individuals work on something we may not be good at. But I agree with the classroom experience, how do we tell students it matters if it does not, perhaps that an ongoing discussion we should ask them every assignment we assign.
Great post!
