Teaching is the creation of conditions in which people are willing to reconsider what they think they know. When teaching is about creating conditions for change, learning becomes the active choice to step into those conditions and let go of old assumptions. #Teaching #Teachers #TeacherSky #EduSky
Does anyone out there have advice about the potential legality of publishing fan-fiction?
Capitalism is sometimes an ugly endeavor. How is it okay to charge me $7 for a can of Coke at the local zoo?
