~ Daniel Pink, A Whole New Mind 2005
Student Needs—The BIG picture:
“Admit that the waters around you have grown…”
~Bob Dylan
Anderson, L. W., & Krathwohl, D. R.. A Taxonomy for Learning, Teaching, and Assessing: A Revision of Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. 2001. New York: Addison Wesley Longman.
Today’s students demand…"Engage me or enrage me."
~Mark Prensky
