Today there were an overwhelming amount of boxes to open and process.  Many questions were answered, many were not, many were addressed, many were not.  With so many boxes, that just keep opening, they can not all be answered/addressed in these sessions; especially one like today.

Equation:  questions = boxes.  answers = boxes.

So many boxes, so little time.

Recap:  Open boxes to 'yes', not just open the 'no' boxes.  Classrooms w/o walls, for me, doesnot apply to the physcial walls, as it does for most school systems.  For me it means every student having a computer where they are able to access the world from their seat, encouraging them to explore and research areas of interest, as well as peaking (peeking into) areas they may find themselves interested in due to their exploration.  By virtue of having the students engaged, classroom management challenges will be reduced signnificantly, allowing more time for the teacher to instruct, model, and monitor.

Being uncomfortable is a good thing, in that you are being stretched.

Computers create motivation for the students to learn, as thus the teachers to teach.

'Technology'

Fund for the best, none for the less?  Promise or problem?  Incentive or ???

You're overwhelmed because there are so many boxes to open.

The brain is actively throwing things away, because of the filters working in the sensory functions.

Sharp Edges:  Are the edges so because we labeled them as such?  God gave Adam the priviledge of naming everything (Genesis 2: 19-20).

...Sickle Cell Anemia...edges are painful...

Optical illusions are not tricks.  They are the the brain working.
