The document discusses qualities of an inspiring university professor in the digital age. It argues that to be inspiring, professors must embrace educational experimentation using new technologies and participative learning approaches. They also need to spend significant time in conversation with students to mentor their development. Most importantly, professors must demonstrate integrity by living according to their values, being willing to struggle for causes greater than themselves, and making commitments to improve. An inspiring professor transforms students' habits and ways of thinking.

@agalorda
What
do
you
expect
from
a
professor?

4. @agalorda
Free
access
to
extraordinary
educational
content
demands
a
#shift
in
the
professor’s
pro0ile.

5. Universities
should
focus
on
developing
#competences
rather
than
on
transferring
knowledge.
@agalorda

6. implications !THREE !
@agalorda

7. @agalorda
The
problem
won’t
be
being
a
bad
student
during
university,
but
#after.
1!

8. The
question
won’t
be
what
did
you
study?,
but
what
are
you
studying
#now?
And
#how?
2!
@agalorda

9. Presential
teaching
is
becoming
a
luxury
we’ll
only
pay
for
if
professors
are
really
#inspiring.
3!
@agalorda

10. What does it mean to be INSPIRING?!
@agalorda

11. If
we
call
“innovation”
to
just
redecorating
the
of0ice,
we
could
end
up
calling
#inspiring
to
anything…
@agalorda

12. To
be
inspiring
is
not
to
occasionally
#dazzle
students
like
a
deer
caught
in
the
headlights.
@agalorda

13. Someone
#inspires
you
when
she
moves
you
to
change
your
#habits
and
#transforms
who
you
are.

15. Educational EXPERIMENTATION!1!

16. PROFESSORS TEACH
TODAY EXACTLY THE
SAME WAY THEY
TAUGHT A THOUSAND
YEARS AGO.
SEBASTIAN THRUN
CO-FOUNDER OF UDACITY
@agalorda
Ouch!

17. @agalorda
And
we
all
know
how
challenging
is
to
teach
students
equipped
with
devices
#connected
to
the
world.

18. Professors
need
to
innovate
in
the
#learning
process
using
technology
as
a
tool,
when
necessary.
@agalorda

19. And
new
and
more
#participative
dynamics
need
to
be
implemented
inside
the
classroom.
And
outside.
@agalorda

20. If
you
are
not
a
consecrated
old
and
wise
professor,
it
is
very
unlikely
that
you
become
#inspiring
unless
you
dare
to
develop
educational
#experimen-­‐
tation.
@agalorda

21. CONVERSATION with students!2!
@agalorda

22. THE GLANCE OF
THE LOVER IS
NOT REALISTIC.
IT’S A GLANCE
OF PROJECTION…

23. @agalorda
Inspiring
professors
spend
much
time
#conversing
with
students,
helping
them
develop
their
talents.
Generously
and
for
free.

24. Since
information
is
everywhere,
the
#mentoring
model
will
be
a
key
factor
to
choose
University.
@agalorda

25. #Alumni
don’t
come
back
for
mere
nostalgia,
but
to
talk
with
those
professors
who
knew
their
names.

26. INTEGRITY!3!
@agalorda

27. I LOOK FOR 3 THINGS
IN HIRING PEOPLE:
INTEGRITY,
INTELLIGENCE AND A
HIGH ENERGY LEVEL.
BUT IF YOU DON’T
HAVE THE FIRST, THE
OTHER TWO WILL KILL
YOU. WARREN BUFFETT
@agalorda

28. Do
you

for
something
#greater

29. MARTIN LUTHER KING
Are
you
willing

#struggle
for

@agalorda

30. Do
you
live

Do
you
do
as
you
say?

@agalorda
2!

35. A
professor
without
integrity
becomes
a
#charlatan.
But
the
good
news
is…
@agalorda

36. …there
is
nothing
more
attractive
than
a
person
who
#struggles
to
improve.
