Inner Dialogue

A new guy showed up in Robo class Tuesday night. I like that my students are bringing in their friends and other interested parties to our class. It means that they think our group is a good place to share with others. It also gives us an opportunity to broaden our reach. I think often of my role as facilitator of this diverse and dynamic group of people. It's a subtle dance of personalities, unique quirks, interests and relationships. I take very seriously my role in all of this... just enough to help oil the wheels but not enough to impede progress. Sometimes it's like a juggling act, trying to balance all of their needs and interests, matching people to people, connecting ideas to the real world. Making connections... that's what I do best.
