What a fun moment to document.
Most students would love to get out of class early. So don’t be afraid to wrap things up early or do something fun for a few minutes. The students will love it.

Hmmm. Is this what you hoped to find? I ask because about 20 years ago I did research on “what makes a website credible” and the results were the opposite of what we’d hoped. It mostly came down to design: If the site looked good, people found the content credible.

I’m not sure. I’ve been practicing both types of deep squats. I don’t squat with weights, so I don’t have a sense of what works best when I am under strain.

Lotus position is very easy for me but straddle splits is not. I wonder what’s going on.

Storytelling is a broad concept. So it’s hard to chime in helpfully. But I’ll try:
Stories can establish cause/effect relationships, which in turn can shift motivation.
Stories can also establish identity — or articulate an identity that users aspire to have.
There’s more. I’ll stop there

A general way to think about this area . . .
If you want to engage users, you need to do this:
—> Help users feel successful in a way that matters to them.
There are many techniques for this. Leaderboard is one, but this works only for a small %. For others, it repels.

On the practical side of things (being a teacher), I try not to have names influence my interactions with students. But some names are tough to remember or say, and I’m pretty sure fear of mispronouncing names leads to me calling on those students less often, despite good intentions otherwise.

I should read the study before commenting, but oh well
Warmth and competence are different constructs, as you know.
These are the two well-established dimensions of credibility.
But I can’t see how this study relates to studies of credibility.
Curious to learn if there’s a connection.

I use MS Outlook because Stanford has made MS the standard for us.
It’s baffling that I have to manually correct typos — super obvious typos — all day long doing email in Outlook.
Am I missing something in the settings? I dunno.
