Emily, The Brain, The Classroom, and The Internet

Submitted by Geneva Tolliferreo on Tue, 07/10/2007 - 10:55am.

Emily - Emily indeed was on to something as the brain in big enough to contain all that we experience and imagine.

The Brain - I believe as finite as the sky is, in that it is contained on the Earth, God has given us the capacity to use our brain to think and be creative infinitely.

Classrooms and The Internet - Setting an atmosphere for exploratory learning is a fine ideal.  However, as a teacher and administrator turned adjunct, the common thread on each of these levels is the pacing requirement.  Curricula does not afford Educators the time to allow students to explore, question, and/or challenge what they are being taught...how sad is the realization of this for the students and teachers.  These would be recognized, in many cases, as teachable moments.  Hope rests in the fact that we provide food for thought for time spent out of our classrooms...in their world.
