“I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening.” ~ Larry King “The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.” ~ Ralph G. Nichols //The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you. [|--B. B. King]// Don't limit a child to your own learning for he was born in another time. --Rabindranath Tagore Advocating universal access to science and engineering.

For Gen-B2 (B squared aka Baby Boomers), life has been pretty amazing - full of surprises, change, prosperity and innovation. Technology, and the internet in particular play a big part in this story. They provide the opportunity to contribute to global understanding and application of science and engineering to benefit all. Image that - I'm part of the community sharing information and access to learning with anyone anywhere in the world. But wait, there's more... if we are ever to civilize this world and live in greater peace and harmony, it can only be done by educating every single child to the limit of their capacity. --[|Edward Lukacs] //Expect creative solutions, not compromise, aligned with the vision that benefit the organization as a whole. [|[2]]// //the environment that succeeds supports student autonomy, mastery, and purpose - Daniel Pink's three elements// //An engineer starts with a societal need. Absent a societal need, an engineer has nothing to do.// [|[3]] learning is... connection, cooperation, open, mobile, global, imagination, inspiration, discovery, self-serve * zest, grit, self-control, social intelligence, gratitude, optimism and curiosity //Excellence is Caring more than others think is wise; Risking more than others think is safe; Dreaming more than others think is practical. Expecting more than others think is possible. --Winston Churchill// The key ingredients for deep creative learning are real freedom and real responsibility. Freedom allows for exploration and experimentation, while responsibility insures that both will be pursued with rigor. Interest and commitment are the prerequisites for the responsible use of freedom. There is no way that we know of to force people to be interested and committed. That must be a precondition. --[|Harrison Owen]
