"Do More" - Could we do just that?

Many of us have been in lectures that you find it hard to keep your eyes from sliding closed and I am sure that the opposite has happen. There have been lectures that without knowing it, the time passes so quickly that you felt has though you could blink and it would be over. This week offered yet another moment of clarity. During the last of three lecture of very dry topic were presented again in very dry presentations, a moment of inspiration hit me. It is really up to us as educators to be inspiring, not just with our knowledge but with our methods. The three lecture showed me that the very fact that a teacher knows and/or understands something does not mean they can present it well. I believe that the teacher or educator make it a point to go beyond what they find interesting and construct an interesting environment which promote learning. This does require teachers to, yet again, "do more". The difference, in my own opinion, is that if teachers did it to begin with it would not feel like more. It would become the norm and accepted. You may differ from these thoughts. However, I suggest that everyone consider the next lesson they plan to give and assess whether the audience will find it as interesting as you do.
