Model Creative Behavior

“We have to recognize that as educators in those moments, the first thing that I feel at least is the pressure of time, you’ve got an hour and 15 minutes to deliver that lesson and you kinda need this thing to be working because in your mind you are dependent on this video, you’re dependent on this presentation to get this lesson going..”

– Dr. Matthew Worwood
