What Can We Learn About Teaching and Learning From Randy Pausch?

Randy talks about a brick wall. Brick walls can represent something standing in the way of your dreams. If you really want to achieve your dreams you wouldn't let anything stop you. Because if you let something keep you from achieving your dreams than you really didn't want it since you gave up too easily.

Randy had a few dreams that he went after until he no longer could pursue them. One was being in zero gravity. Randy had the chance to live that dream. Another dream was playing in the NFL. Of course he didn't make it into the NFL but it got him to where he is today. He learned the fundamentals and hard work. He also learned when you don't get what you want that it allows you to gain experience.

We can learn that perseverance can pay off when you really want to accomplish your childhood dreams. You can learn something new every time you push yourself to try new things.
For my C4T Assignment I was assigned to comment on Tony Baldasaro's blog post. Tony is an educator. The first post I commented on was called 9 Words. In his post 9 Words, Tony is talking about the moment you realize you are doing what you are supposed to be doing along with the people you are doing it with.
