This could be paired with these students (who learn to garden/manage in the Belmont garden) then go to a community school and build/teach a community garden there.]]> 2021-12-15 16:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/amycrook2/TIIdeas/wish/1949878591 https://padlet.com/amycrook2/TIIdeas/wish/1949887454 Fellowship (between students, between faculty, between students and faculty) is what encourages interdisciplinary approaches AND problem-solving (see a need, fill a need)

Longitudinal projects (rather than one-offs) can be more valuable as they can involve students mentoring other students in to the project (and involve sinking, rather than continuously re-investing, costs)

Tradition also creates buy-in (this is what Belmont students do)]]> 2021-12-15 16:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/amycrook2/TIIdeas/wish/1949887454 https://padlet.com/amycrook2/TIIdeas/wish/1949940551 Create builder spaces to enable science/engineering challenges that could be used for science/engineering challenges: environmental monitoring, habit monitoring.

How do we find space in our work life to enable these problems.

To what extent is part of our problem not being more student centric in our communication? We are doing a lot of this with little recognition outside of a small academic area.

More flexibility to control our courses to include everything from vocational discernment to mindfulness

Longer term, lots of sticky wickets, but…]]> 2021-12-15 16:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amycrook2/TIIdeas/wish/1949951094 https://padlet.com/amycrook2/TIIdeas/wish/1949975222 Create immersive VR space to help interact within spaces we cant easily access. Share different experiences, cultures, lifestyles to better understand people, and worlds.

For example walking the streets of china to for students in the Asia studies department where they can get a look into culture. Be able to tie in audio engineering majors to see the instruments of this area and how these instruments are played/how to record them. 

Work with the center for Chinese music and culture in TN to experience these instruments and the unique culture where they come from.]]> 2021-12-15 17:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amycrook2/TIIdeas/wish/1949975222
