  by Phillip McGregor (@PMcGregor)
  

  If the image is no longer available, it is of a father letting go of his daughter as she rides her bike without training wheels. Although I am not a teacher by profession, this does reflect my philosophy while performing on-the-job training when I worked in film, specifically when I worked with camera trainees. I more… »

• Metaphor: Sailing
  by anh lam (@anhlam)
  

  In my role as project manager, I do find myself wearing the teacher hat often. I teach, guide and mentor our instructional designers, coop students, part-time developers, and faculty. Being aware that everyone has different learning styles and experiences, it is important for me to adapt and be flexible like sailing in the ocean. As more… »

• Your metaphor for teaching –
  by Sam Gennidakis (@SGennidakis)
  

  Using some of the metaphors from In Mastering the teaching of Adults (Apps, J. (1991). Mastering the Teaching of Adults.

The teacher is a partner and in many moments the student may more… »

  I choose to use this graphic to represent the learning journey. It is much like life … fraught with turns and bends and steps forward. We as educators are there to help learners navigate this terrain successfully.

  by Rena Gandham (@rgandham)
  

  At the beginning of each semester, I feel my class is starting a journey and I am their GPS that will assist them to reach their destination. I will provide instructions, support, and guidance during the journey, but the students are the drivers. During the journey the students will need to follow rules, instructions, and more… »

• Fine fusion cooking
  by Ryan Walmsley (@rwalmsley)
  

  Teaching and learning are two sides that come together with a purpose, but both the teacher and the learner change as part of the shared result. Maybe it’s because I’m thinking in the back of my mind about what I’m going to make for dinner (as a mental procrastination from finishing the module), but this more… »
