RADICAL LEARNERS
This blog by Jim Knight explores the concept of radical learners who:
- believe we are here on earth to learn
- use technology to learn, teach, or lead (and because it’s cool)
- know that to teach without hope is to damage, but to teach with hope can save the world
- don’t blame others but accept personal responsibility for whatever task they take on
- infect everybody with their love of learning; most important, the children they teach
