I am so excited to spend the semester together as we learn about learning. I hope this can be a space where we can question, try and push as we learn about learning. If we use this Eleanor Duckworth quote to frame our thinking and actions I believe we will be successful as a learning community:
Use the class discussion not as a place to present ideas you have been sure about all along, but as a place to try out your newly-forming ideas, counting on help from the other members of the class in asking you questions and thoughts that will help you keep thinking about it.
Hi Dr. Horwitz! Here's my address: http://schnippycentral.com/ (I hope!) I can't believe how much I enjoyed reading a graphic novel for the first time ever. Now I feel bad that I yell at my 10-yr.-old son when all he want to read is Big Nate! I finally understand the mystique. See everyone on Wednesday! -Amy
