10/29: felt-tip markers

At the start of the semester my co-teacher and I did an activity with our first-year students that involved giving each of them 4 felt-tip markers of different colors.  When the activity was over, we told them they could keep the markers if they wanted.  Most of them did.  Today in the same class I noticed that one student had all 4 of his markers out on his desk and used them to mark up a hand-out we were talking about.  It made me so happy to see.
