Welcome to my blog

How to motivate and be sensitive to your students and yourself !!!!!!!                                

  Yuk!  Purple french fries??  Are you kidding??  That sounds terrible and how can that help me??  One might think about it that way but it might be good.  Remember the great book, "Green Eggs and Ham"?    The character would never try it.  But, when he did, he loved it!  We are so mistrusting of the new or unusual ideas, that we discount them immediately! 
"So what does this have to do with me?" you might ask, "Blue and purple potatoes originated in South America and have begun to gain popularity in the United States.  Blue and purple potatoes are most available in the fall.  These relatively unknown tubers have a subtle nutty flavor and flesh that ranges from dark blue or lavender to white".  (www.foodreference.com)  This blog suggests thinking differently about your students and your teaching.  There may be some strategies you could use or, at least, think about.  It's important to get the conversation started, if only in your head.  Are you ready?
