  5. Is that you in that picture Terry?

    I love Arches NP. We have visited twice and neither time could I convince anyone to hike with me. So while the kids and Rosanne sat in the parking lot I hiked a short hike. They missed a lot by not getting up close.

  6. Life does not happen in a bubble and some of the greatest learning takes place not when a person walks into a classroom…but rather when he walks out of it because there is an infinite amount of lessons outside just waiting to be discovered.

    And when it comes to comprehension, there’s a huge difference between being taught a lesson and experiencing it. When you are taught to take care of animals because you read a story about it in your textbook, you understand it’s a good thing to do. But when you find an injured bird on the playground and nurse it back to life, you know you made a difference, and you learned a lesson in biology and empathy that you will never forget.

  8. Agee completely. The world is a classroom if you choose to take that class!
    In another context that turns the quote around, as an educator, I’ll say that given a really good teacher (and there are a lot of them), ‘the classroom can open the world.’ I was reminded of that with a recent segment on CBS Sunday Morning where an elementary school teacher opened the world to her kids. They each had to apply for and ‘make’ their own passport. She then arranged the classroom as seats on a plane, got a flight simulator video to ‘get them to where they were going’, and then designed her curriculum for the day to reflect the culture and history and food of a specific country before they all ‘re-boarded’ the plane, flashed their passports, and went home. How cool is that!
