Why fight it. I have been around the world... lucky enuff to be kicked out of UWO to find out what an incredible world is out there...
Ireland and New Zealand... yet .. there is always an issue to the fact of saying .. " my favorite".. as my Father says.. ' your one of my three favorite sons' ... ... ya dig?
The culture of these two fine places sit deep in my being... to be able to hitch~hike with clear comfort and to literally bump into the most amazing people... who,,, frankly... share with you what it is being who/what they are....
now.. to me... that's travellin'.
My favorite trip .. was to Acton. It really is worth _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ !
I decided to pop onto this because i like to type.
I also believe, if we as educators don't pay attention... we will not be educating anything... they will be educating us. They are winning. We must continue to learn new ways to transfer the knowledge they really need... this course is a medium that can help this process... ...
An amazin' colleague i work with tossed me this site one day ... stimulated plenty with the two of us as well... .. well... as well as sharing this with my students in my 11 Open Philosophy and my mixed 11'ns for Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology course..
Before ya click' er... i challenge ya to think of Gandhi.... Jesus... Martin Luther King Jr. ... and frankly.. yerself.
The Monkey Experiement...

Welcome aboard Higgins! You'll be pleased to know that your link has already caused intensive debate around the breakfast table...
ReplyDeleteHey Higgins,
ReplyDeleteI love the photo. I have a yellow Labrador retriever named Angel, who is actually white like an angel. Are angels really white?
I agree that we are now learning alongside our students and for me, with my own children. It is not hard to be a professional life long learner, every day I seem to learn something new. It is overwhelming at times, but how is this for our own students who we are teaching and preparing for life and now presumably jobs that do not even exist yet.
As my almost 14 year old said to me this week, "Mom, how do you know which courses to pick for high school?” Of course it is all about choices for them. I told him at 13, I had no idea. But by 16, after going on a High school March Break immersion trip to Haiti, I knew I wanted to teach. And I am very blessed to be doing so ever since:) I also told my son, I loved Grade 9 Phys. Ed. and I hated Grade 9 Typing. I still benefit from both courses. However, how could that strange old teacher ever know 20 or so years later that typing course that I hated at the time has been priceless.
Sometimes it is a moment in time when travelling you meet the most different and unusual, however, the most memorable and most profound. It could be J, one never knows. My train is coming…All aboard.
