The Role of Emotion in Learning
- “The ability to feel passionate about something is a skill. What we need to teach kids is that feeling passionate about something doesn’t just fall into your lap. Rather, students can learn how to take interest in subjects that aren’t immediately entertaining.”

How We Feel App
This app includes an updated Mood Meter (now with 144 words!) and was designed to help you gain greater insight around the causes and consequences of your feelings and learn research-based strategies to help you regulate your feelings to achieve greater well-being. Two other cool features include a mini course on emotions and a reporting feature to help you understand your emotional patterns over time. (App is available currently on ios devices but the web interface works well too.)
