A youth's learning environment is 'the third teacher'bit.ly/J8QAan


Darcy I have this talent, and I have to see where it might be relevant to the curriculum, the same thing goes for technology. 


why do we do this? wondering what we might be missing out on..

whimsy matters.

how very lovely is this - the first few minutes of kids talking about the book w/o words:

the opportunity for such a glance exists everywhere. and always.

epidemic-of-military-suicides

About 18 veterans kill themselves each day. Thousands from the current wars have already done so. In fact, the number of U.S. soldiers who have died by their own hand is now estimated to be greater than the number (6,460) who have died in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq.

 The self itself is under threat, not because of the erosion of privacy, or the inversion of public and private spaces, but because we can not find the time to tend it.

Collaborative Learning due to social intelligence, wicked problems, and network culture huff.to/Ltn1AL via@HuffPostEdu

what if.. the mindset is different.. what if it is as simple as setting people free. in spaces where they have nothing to prove.. I believe, we would then not only start solving wicked problems.. we might just quit creating them.

I want to paint them
a compelling picture
A man gaining himself
through others
Society... school

A tall man, with white teeth
He shines in the light
A man who has everything
The life
A boat
A wife

Yet as the picture develops
They see
That everything for the man is
Nothing
A yearning for
Everything
That is not nothing
But self

Revealed
Something
A glimmer
A speck of hope
Its vast
Its magnanimous

Self seen
The man for who he IS
he looks free
He looks without need
His everything is now full

The turning of the man
A gaze
Toward the viewer
His eyes
A true reflection
Of lost self

A realization
Gained
A self found
At the painting
Of a Picture
