In "Engaging Our Youngest Minds," (from www.k12online.ning.com/video) teacher Angela Maiers shares her discovery of one young person's passion about animals. She tells the story of this five-year-old animal rights activist and encourages viewers to help all students find some strong interest in order to make them passionate about school and learning.
She talks about the importance of passion in education and of teachers supporting their students in their passions. She emphasizes the need for teachers to let their students teach them, rather than just teaching the students. Maiers also suggests that passion should be the heart of the classroom, and that everything else--technology included--should be used to support those passions rather than take over them.
