Get to Know the LEGO Education Master Educators
"The most important lesson I’ve learned through failing is that nothing is ever really a fail; it’s just another way for something not to work."
"If it took you years to be a master of in-person teaching, do you really think you’ll master hybrid learning in a single year? We must move away from a focus on utter perfection, which leads to feelings of exhaustion, failure, and disappointment, and more to a place of progress and seeing growth as well as learning from the setbacks."
"Be willing to step all the way out of your comfort zone to do something different."
"The greatest benefit to hands-on learning is the ability for students to make real-world connections."
"When you do things the ”the right way” it is because somebody found one way to do it and told you “this is the best way”. I don´t believe in that."
