"I want to thank anyone who spends part of their day creating. I don’t care if it’s a book, a film, a painting, a dance, a piece of theater, a piece of music. Anybody who spends part of their day sharing their experience with us. I think the world would be unlivable without art." -Steven Soderbergh
I think that it’s important for a teacher to pick up on the ways in which particular students respond to different mediums and modify their approach and instruction accordingly. William Cowper once said, “Variety’s the very spice of life, that gives it all its flavor.” I believe this to be true in the realm of academia as well, because change and differentiation in the classroom is ultimately more interesting and engaging than the static, humdrum routine. As educators, we need to be dynamic. It’s essential that we spice it up. We need to wet the appetite of our students through a variety of tools and resources that incite their senses and inspire their thinking.
