Other Opinions and "Racing Thoughts"


Activity on WebCT has all but stopped. I have used the time to be inspired by my other classes, but I have real concerns, now that we have only 2 months to complete our effort. I have to write a paper for my class in Curriculum Studies. We are asking the classic question, "What knowledge is of most worth?" I will post a link to the paper after it is finished next week. I thought the artwork to the left is descriptive of my mood. "Racing Thoughts" is part of the Jasper Johns exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I was looking for books on Amazon and found this guys reviews.
There are two reviews, one of Maxine Greene's The Dialectic of Freedom and one of Chet Bower's Let Them Eat Data. Other perspectives are good to take into consideration: a fine understanding of the problems that others have with the presentation of new ideas can help one communicate more effectively. Questioning--Openmindedness--the keys to creation. (Notice his only two posts are about writers on the "liberal" boundaries of Educational Curriculum and that they are both negative reviews. Something to consider, too.)
Until next time...
