Teaching, Learning, and Storytelling: Lessons from Pixar’s Creative Team
Monday, December 31st, 2007Educational achievement is not to make the strange seem familiar, but to make the familiar seem strange. It is seeing the wonderful that lies hidden in what we take for granted that matters (Egan, 1992).
I came across this blog post by Christopher Sessums in which he discusses the value of storytelling in the teaching and learning transaction. Storytelling certainly can be one very effective illustrative method and I found Sessums’ blog post on the topic from a more secular and non-ministry perspective quite interesting.
