@JermaineCurtis Taught my son to hit by pitching grapes to him. He got a kick out of watching them explode.

Looking back… My dad was onto something. He would bring the whole family outside and we’d hit: • wiffle balls • acorns • sunflower seeds And if I hit certain targets...like a sunflower seed... I could win a Kit Kat or a Twix. At the time, it just felt FUN. But now I realize he was using positive reinforcement before I even knew what that meant. He made practice competitive. Rewarding. Addicting. Exciting. And honestly… you still see versions of this in the big leagues today. After big hits, players immediately look toward the dugout, teammates, crowd, or family for reinforcement and celebration. The brain loves reward. My dad made baseball feel rewarding long before it ever became serious.

At #USF Innovative Education, it feels like Star Wars Day every day. 🌌 In 2019, “The Mandalorian” did more than just introduce Baby Yoda to the world. It also developed specialized LED Volume screens to create the show’s virtual worlds — and then made them available to the public. Today, InEd Studios utilizes two of those screens to create multimedia for online courses, helping faculty engage students through immersive, subject-driven environments. 🔗Learn more: bit.ly/4f2dXKR
