What inspires me

Seeing the moment that the learner understands the topics and concepts being discussed鈥搘hether it is in a classroom, a gallery, or at an exhibit鈥攁nd the learning process then becomes a shared and dynamic experience. Also, the challenge of always making learning an enjoyable experience for both the learner and the facilitator.
