This week's #engchat discussion was hosted by Angela Maiers (@AngelaMaiers) on the topic of passion-driven learning. What does it mean to be passionate learners? How can we encourage students to become passionate learners, ones who learn/do/create what they are internally motivated to do so? Does choice encourage this kind of learning? Does saying "no," discourage it?

For the answers to these and other questions pondered over the course of a busy hour (and some of the answers were absolutely poetic!), check out the archive here.

You will also appreciate a look at Angela's post "Guidelines of Passion-Based Learning."
