Today I asked myself this question after a professional learning session: What do you do when the tech (or the activity) doesn’t work?
He is married to his favorite person, and loves his three children quite a little bit (aged 10, 15 and 17). He is passionate about authentic learning, technology with purpose, and creating at least one new thing every day. In short, he teaches, and learns. A lot.
I think that it is a really important lesson to work through the glitches with the students- it is something that they will undoubtedly encounter in their lives and modeling how to not “FREAK OUT” is crucial.

Great question, Ben. I think we all know that familiar feeling of rising blood pressure and heart rate when the tech dies. Especially, since we probably just tested it successfully 5 minutes before the audience arrived! I would add to your thoughts about the power of modeling how to handle yourself when things go south. I’m sure if you did a ‘Think Aloud’ about your decision to focus on log-ins , you helped the participants see how you handle the chaos in style.

Karen Carmean and Diana Golden, thank you so much for your own wonderful reflections on this issue. The power of thinking aloud and “not freaking out” is huge. The ways in which we can be learners through frustration shows how we persevere and problem solve. I also think the way in which we involve our audience in the process is essential. The more that we can draw them into that thinking space, the better.
