#8 Take it Outside

This may seem pretty simplistic, and maybe it is.  But what if some of our teaching actually takes place outside?  I know, I know we have specially designed classrooms and hermetically sealed windows to keep us safe.  But I know MANY a child that opens his or her mind when simply sitting outside!

Working with adults - yep - it is a little bit more of a challenge to actually get adults to go outside, but sometimes a change of pace works.

But there is also something just about being out in nature - even if you are in a city - the air is different.

And I bet it is pretty easy to find analogies for many educational situation using nature - let's all give it a try.

So - for one aspect of teaching - all I can say is "Take it Outside!"
