Where’s the Fun in That? Finding Joy in the Process -- TEC 35

In this episode of The TechEd Clubhouse, we’re diving into a lesson I learned from my dad that shaped my approach to teaching,learning, and life: finding joy in the process. Whether it’s building a project, solving a problem, or learning something new, the magic isn’t in thefinal product—it’s in the journey that gets you there. Join me as we explore how play, creativity, and persistence can transform the way we think about success, both in and out of the classroom. From stories about my dad to practical strategies for educators, this episode is all about making the process meaningful, playful, and fun.   What You’ll Learn in This Episode Why focusing on the process leads to deeper learning and better outcomes. The role of play in fostering creativity, problem-solving, and growth. How to design classroom experiences that celebrate the journey, not just the result. Practical tips for educators to shift from a product-first to a process-first mindset.    Resources and Links Mentioned The LEGO Foundation Principles of Play National Institute for Play Connect with me on Twitter: @coachthomastech   Subscribe & Review Did you enjoy this episode?
