And more yet, it's about soul. It's about the kind of soul that used to be in songs, as in soul music. It's about the soul, the soul of the teacher engaged with the child; it's about the child's soul, learning, and the teacher's soul responding to that by being a guide, and by being the ultimate encourager.
Learning is a dance. It should be joyful, and all the other things that life is.
What do you think learning is about?
What are some of the most soulful lessons you've ever been through?

friend, stopping by to visit?
If you're coming here because I asked you to stop by, or because you've stumbled upon this site by following a trail of other links,
please leave a note.
The theme here is education. I'm trying to gather information about what makes the best learning experiences. Could you leave a comment, saying what class you've really loved in your life, maybe a subject in college, maybe an after school art class. Could you say what it was about and why you liked it?
Leave your name, unless you sign in, then it'll appear.
Thanks, Connie

Back again, after a pause
Ok, I'm back to Blogger. Had to attend to other things for a while, learning all sorts of new stuff through collaboration with a colleague about how to begin a learning center. Dove into CR2.0, a great philosophical and techie educational network with a bunch of idealistic-thinking, forward-moving colleagues. Learned how to build larger bases in networks, learned to connect networks (such as CR2.0 with Facebook). Learned, learned learned.
I'm now experiencing that uplifting headstate that comes from growing so much that new growth is easier; I'm on a roll.
Just 3 months ago I talked about being on that edge, of being ready to take a leap, of knowing that I'd never again perceive the world in the same way. I was right--my view is qualitatively different now. And I can honestly say, I'm happier, more engaged in all sorts of learning, and, more expressive. There was a rapid growth in my general writing skills and capacity, a rapid growth in taking the risks to do some creative writing, and a HUGE growth in connectiveness with people who provide important feedback and support as we all move forth in such an information-sharing world.
I'm a new person.
And back to Blogger. I'll be posting regularly here now.
