Teaching Journal
"Education is not the filling of a bucket, it is the lighting of a fire." -W.B. Yeats Seems Yeats might have been referring to an earlier reference: "The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited." -Plutarch.

Though I am not currently teaching any courses, I am interested in effective approaches to teaching and learning, including model-based reasoning, peer learning, experiential learning, and the use of technology in education. I am an active member of the Graduate Teaching Community at UC Davis, a network of graduate students and postdocs who meet weekly to discuss and practice approaches to education. You can follow our community on our blog. I also occasionally have the chance to teach a session in a seminar or group meeting, which I often use to test out ideas. I maintain a teaching notebook through openwetware to keep track of the successes and failures of the things I explore.
