I have a position on Obama, but one thing you can’t deny either way is that he values education. We are lucky to have both candidates who do. This is a nice blog post, read it if you can.

Bradley Hammer explains how teaching a university writing course with practical assignments is better for the students and better for the world! He is a very interesting teacher to be sure.

Thanks Angela, I found you on Google and I’m glad I did! Connecting with other educators like you and sharing them with fans of education is a really cool process. That’s what my Blog Safari is for.
I can’t say I have one mantra. Mine change day to day. Today it was “I will add value to people’s lives.”
