Mindful Online Teaching and Learning: A Conversation with Tiffany Guske
At last year’s Distance Teaching and Learning Conference in Madison, Wisconsin, Tiffany Guske, a coach, speaker, and expert in personal growth techniques, provided an unexpected introduction at the first general session. She led an excited and restless ballroom of nearly 800 attendees in a mindfulness exercise. The group began by taking three slow full deep breaths, then writing down a specific goal, an intention for how they would spend their time at the conference. It was a simple and brief exercise, but a powerful one. I have described this as “a breath of fresh air” to many colleagues since.
