The Zen of Teaching project began on my blog “ Skate of the Web ” with the series of posts on Myths of Teaching & Learning some months ago, and was born of my interest to investigate the inertia to change of educational institutions and the alleged crisis of higher ed, especially in the States.
I had a wonderful opportunity this summer to be awarded a Scholar-in-Residence grant from New York University ‘s Faculty Resource Network . During June I thus had the unbelievable, undeserved and awesome luck to live in NYC’s Village and to work almost every day within that gorgeous library on Washington Square Park .
I had a lot of fun to participate in an interview that Tim Owens and Jim Groom did to me for their DTLT Daily webcast. In the video, I try and explain what the project is about and what I did in NY during June 2011. See the video here .
