Eight Quotes about Learning

”if you’re not failing every now and again, it’s a sign you’re not doing anything very innovative.” – Woody Allen

“The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.” —Adolf Berle

“Discovery is the ability to be puzzled by simple things.” —Noam Chomsky

"Assessment should be a continuous feedback loop, one that is integrated into the learning process, and where the feedback improves the competency of the learner. Assessments should be used as opportunities to develop competencies and the related sense of achievement." -- Jackie Gerstein, EdD

"Learning is the creation and removal of connections between the entities, or the adjustment of the strengths of those connections." -- Stephen Downes

"A sense that e-mail and texting are “poor writing” is analogous, then, to one that the Rolling Stones produce “bad music” because they don’t use violas. Note that one cannot speak capital letters or punctuation. If we accept e-mail and texting as a new way of talking, then their casualness with matters of case and commas is not only expected but unexceptionable." -- John McWhorter

You hav 2 disrupt something to move forward. eg Youtube disrupted MTV. 1:1 disrupting teacher as knowledge controller -- Dorothy Burt

"The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn." - Cicero”
