BRIDGE THE GAP.
“At its best, schooling can be about how to make a
life, which is quite different from how to make a living.” ― Neil Postman, The End of
Education
YOUR DEGREES OF FREEDOM = 1
Can’t change what you teach.
Can change how you teach.
McLuhan: Medium is the message
If you teach collaboratively, students will respond.
