Anti-Teaching Article

Good Article - I like the new phrase that the author coined - AntiTeaching
It is true - We have been doing it this way for so long, it is very difficult to change and yes, how do we expect students to excel if we don't change to fit the times. It was like deja vĂș when I read these things:
“How long does this paper need to be?” Or the worst (and most common) of all:
“What do we need to know for this test?” - All the time!
My favorite quote from the article is this:
"Focusing on the quality of learning, rather than the quality of teaching transforms
the entire educational agenda." That is a difficult transition to make but one that needs to happen.

Great job choosing a quote from the article and good points that you share in all your blog posts. I also noticed your "tweet" trying to find global connectivity for your projects. You do such a great job of thinking creatively about your teaching! Keep it up!
