"Identify something that you have ALWAYS wanted to learn about or to do" This prompt for the Network Learning Project for CEP 810 - Teaching for Understanding with Technology had me stumped, but after going over a few options, such as calligraphy, organization (you don't want to see my desks), and how to make sunny side up eggs, I have decided to learn how to tie a bow tie! I received a bow tie a few years ago as a gift, but have not learned how to tie it. This project will be my motivation to do so.
While I have always struggled with knots, I have been able to tie a tie since high school. I perfected my craft during college and as I searched for my first teaching job. To kick start my learning process, I created the Screencast below to showcase where and how I am choosing resources for the Network Learning Project. This project is going to provide me with a few challenges and teach me in many ways:
By the end of this project, my goal is to successfully tie a bow tie. Do you know how to tie a bow tie? Is it difficult to tie one? Let me know in the comments! References:
