Can you teach the future and be optimistic?

Jason Manning
Jason Manning over 8 years ago

Can you teach the future and be optimistic? That is what I am going to focus on as I start the LBH project this year. In the past my students talk about global warming, an asteroid hitting the earth, or food shortages in a rising global population. All of these issues are important but I want to create a feeling of optimism as I stress to the kids that they can help solve the world's issue. Any suggestions for how to go about this monumental task?

    I love this, Former Member. We all know that there are really good things that came out of each of the thresholds. It's easy sometimes, especially later in the course, to focus on the negative aspects. It might be just as easy to flip the script and move the focus to the positive. This is a really functional goal to have for this semester, Thank you!
