As an side to ending this morning's session, please know that you can not, nor should you want to, or try to manipulate The Holy Spirit.  The Gift of The Holy Spirit is the speaking in The Heavenly Language of Tongues.

In summary of this afternoon...

We want to learn to be effective contributors to information on the web and teach our students how to be the same ... as stated by Dr. Grobstein; and I agree.

Is the brain what changes or is it the process of the brain that changes to accomodate each thought, situation, question, good time, dilemma, experience, etc.?

What is a 'brain freeze', which seems to be a result of eating something cold such as a water ice or icy pop?  Is it the result of the brain experiencing a shock from the cold?

Can what you do in your classroom, as a teacher effectively demonstrate what you are teaching / your students are learning?

2 models of teaching:                                                                                                                                         1- teaching to the test                                                                                                                                      2- not teaching to the test.

We are teaching students, not materials.

Society has created a mirage that the most affluent / expensive university education will afford you the best opportunities life has to offer.  I believe that a graduate of these so called hallowed halls of institutional learning, that are unemployed, at least in part because they are 'over educated' would  differ with this school of thought.  The graduate from a commonwealth or state college is happy to have a  job, eventhough it may not be regarded as the 'position' from which they may or not become unemployed.

*You can not stick to the script when teaching 100% of the time.  We all experience teachable moments, whether caused by the teacher, a student, or an occurance.

Yes, this class today is in session during the Michael Jackson Memorial Service.
