It's our last episode of the year. We get to talk about reflection. Reflection is a huge part of Project Based Learning. John Maxwell said, "Experience isn't the best teacher, evaluated experience is the best teacher." It's possible to do the wrong thing over and over and never learn from it. 

When you take the time to reflect, you can learn from the experience. I also want to thank everyone for listening and please share this podcast. Become the person who is known for sharing great resources. I also talk about having gratitude and thanking those people you appreciate. Focus on the gain, not the gap, and have a wonderful year!

Episode Highlights:
