What really drives learning? There have been discussions that tell us that learning must be experiential. And there are those that have the opinion that the student will learn from lecture and reading. Of course there are some that are in the middle. (I am a constructivist) How about that student that is sitting in class and can only state that he or she could not find anyone that had info on that subject. How do we get that student to seek beyond their little circle?

I found a site that is interesting. It is called eNotes and it is a meeting place where students and faculty can post questions or discussions. Uhm, what are the best shoes for teachers? Well, that was one of the questions. Wish this was around when I was substitute teaching. How do you dress for a PC class? Depends on the district - for X it was business classes - computing, for Y it was physical conditioning and that day the students were supposed to go on a hike, and Z the PC was physically challenged - the class where you show up and are given the briefing that if this student stops breathing count to 100 while moving the other students out before calling the paramedics and teaching basic skills. Anyway the site is eNotes.

I have posted in a number of places about writing. Some might want to write and publish a book whilst others might just want to write an article but not sure where to put your ideas. Scribd and Free E-Books are a couple of ways. Then there is Go Articles. You can post a number of articles along with your website and other information. It is worth checking out @ GoArticles.
