Empathy

Today I took the empathy quotient test and scored a 40 on it.  I do not think I have benefited much from taking this test other than knowing that I have an average level of empathy.  I do not feel that I have been hurt by a lack of empathy in my life because most people around me are empathetical to me as well as others.  Being empathetical when in the classroom will  help me to understand my students and colleges better in order to have a better learning environment.  Empathy plays a part in ISTE NETS standard of communication and collaboration in that students need to be empathetical when learning with others so that they will support the learning of their fellow students in the classroom and all over the world.
