That's fantastic. I applaud you for the excitement, enthusiasm, and eagerness with which you embrace the "out of comfort zone" space! What a magnificent example you set for the rest of us!<br /><br />And you say "it really isn't about teaching content, it is about teaching students." How wonderful. If only all teachers could do that. Content is now everywhere. We are virtually in the position where we can say with accuracy that "all information is in all places at all times." Our task now can be teaching students, teaching learners, and modeling how learning really takes place. Not through memorization and the regurgitation of facts that will be forgotten in about the same amount of time it took to memorize them, but through exploration, questioning, searching, reasoning, thinking, collaborating. Real learning taking place! Congratulations!John Hadley Strangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484977903995419205noreply@blogger.com
