We feel and think better when we move.

I certainly wasn't taught body literacy in school, and what I mean by that is how to read the internal signals that the body might be communicating.
-Leslie Bayers

We feel and think better when we move.
-Leslie Bayers

I try to get students moving or engaged with sensory textures as much as possible to spark learning.

How we feel absolutely shapes if and how we learn. And many of us feel this in our bodies.

with Karen Costa

| July 10, 2025 | XFacebookLinkedInEmail

Karen Costa describes learning to teach, design, and rest on episode 578 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

The mindset is learning from nature rather than learning about nature.

Gardening is something I've tried and failed at many times. I don't know if it's something you can win or fail at.
-Karen Costa

There's a ton of research on our mental health and well being and what green spaces can do for us.
-Karen Costa

The mindset is learning from nature rather than learning about nature.
-Karen Costa

Nature is really, really good at resting.
-Karen Costa

Resilience is born of rest, of hibernating, of knowing that we've got to kind of go down into the ground, into the earth, in those seasons of quiet and peace in order to begin again and rejuvenate.
-Karen Costa

Diversity is the foundation of life. Diversity is strength.
-Karen Costa

with Jessamyn Neuhaus

| July 3, 2025 | XFacebookLinkedInEmail

Jessamyn Neuhaus shares about her book, SNAFU Edu: Teaching and Learning When Things Go Wrong in the College Classroom, on episode 577 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

Human beings make mistakes. We make mistakes as part of learning. We make mistakes just being in the world.

Human beings make mistakes. We make mistakes as part of learning. We make mistakes just being in the world.
-Jessamyn Neuhaus

Academia generally attracts people with perfectionist tendencies.
-Jessamyn Neuhaus

Sometimes there is no positive outcome when something goes wrong. Sometimes things just get messed up because people are human.
-Jessamyn Neuhaus

Inadvertently we have a subtext that teaching is somehow perfectible. Teaching and learning will never ever be perfectible.
-Jessamyn Neuhaus

The AI Con

with Alex Hanna & Emily M. Bender

| June 26, 2025 | XFacebookLinkedInEmail

Emily M. Bender & Alex Hanna share about their book, The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want on episode 576 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

The boosters say AI is a thing. It's inevitable, it's imminent, it's going to be super powerful, and it's going to solve all of our problems. And the Doomers say AI is a thing, it's inevitable, it's imminent, it's going to be super powerful, and it's going to kill us all. And you can see that there's actually not a lot of daylight between those two positions, despite the discourse of saying these are two opposite ends of a spectrum.

What's going on with the phrase artificial intelligence is not that it means something else than what we're using it to mean, it's that it doesn't have a proper referent in the world.
-Emily M. Bender

There's a much broader range of people who can have opinions on AI.
-Alex Hanna

The boosters say AI is a thing. It's inevitable, it's imminent, it's going to be super powerful, and it's going to solve all of our problems.

And you can see that there's actually not a lot of daylight between those two positions, despite the discourse of saying these are two opposite ends of a spectrum.
-Emily M. Bender

Teachers' working conditions are students' learning conditions.
-Alex Hannay
