Clueless

...is what I am often.

Somehow I managed to completely forget about the earlier applications of mindfulness to teaching that I learned about 'when back when in the Fall of 2014' through the University of Iowa exploratory group for mindfulness in education.

• Specifically, I was reminded by a contact from that group that I can have a variety of mindfulness/awareness based activities that can be related to findings from the text.  For instance, when discussing normative changes related to social media, students can simply be 'aware' of patterns and usage and how this impacts their lives/makes them feel.  Those findings can be reflected on and linked back to the text.  Likewise, these inquiries can extend to things like food choices (and linked to readings on bureaucracy or the environment), health insurance status, educational opportunities, political practices, etc., and the text.
