Pushing Education Forward

New Flash!!!!!  I have decided to collaborate with the amazing Marisol Teachworth.  The more I learn about the Boggs Educational Center, the more inspired I am to help with its purpose and development.  Through this process I hope to gain web development skills along with adding value to the Place-Based Education philosophy. 


This video is valuable due to David Sobel's vision and focus on building, shaping and developing the minds of students who will contribute to their community in relevant ways.  This method of teaching and learning enhances a worldview starting within the local community and growing out into the world.


What new resources and tools have you acquired in the past weeks that you’d like to share with other DFM participants? 

Through the web classes I've learn more about Google Docs, using Prezi and Wordle. The philosophies of Jimmy and Grace Lee Boggs have helped me to better understand how important individual direct action can effect lasting change.
