You know I'm very big on the value of not interposing between students and the material they are learning, so that quote resonates strongly; it gives respect to the learner's own innate ability to extract meaning as they will.jleffronhttp://www.4riversgroup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150731131423037282.post-34991932744477428442011-03-26T17:09:31.000+01:002011-03-26T17:09:31.000+01:00ERIC database provides 23,724 hits for "Objec...ERIC database provides 23,724 hits for "Objective" http://eric.ed.gov/JamesOReillynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150731131423037282.post-70663073309001558662011-03-26T17:31:28.000+01:002011-03-26T17:31:28.000+01:00@JamesOReilly So, how did you like the article, Ja...@JamesOReilly So, how did you like the article, James?simbeckhampsonhttp://simbeckhampson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4150731131423037282.post-28411774939858248582011-03-26T18:07:53.000+01:002011-03-26T18:07:53.000+01:00@oldandrewuk Thanks for taking the time to (mis) u...@oldandrewuk Thanks for taking the time to (mis) understand the comment. It was indended to focus the reader on the location and time education can occur, ie. not only from 9-3 within a school building or only within the confines of a training room. Think mobility.

I digress.<br><br> <br><br>I've read some of your recent comments on other #purposed posts and having just read your Twitter stream for the past week, I get the impression you're either really old and crabby, probably still bearing some kind of grudge against someone or something, or, you're actually here to inspire us with a deep wisdom based upon years of front line experience, so which is it?<br><br> <br><br>I enjoy intelligent comments that start with...
