Teaching and Learning in the Information Age LT711 Michelle Mehlberg

" Many instructional arrangements seem "contrived," but there is nothing wrong with that. It is the teacher's function to contrive conditions under which students learn. It has always been the task of formal education to set up behavior which would prove useful or enjoyable later in a student's life." B.F. Skinner

For the Future Empowering Students

Teaching and Learning in the Information Age! Today is your day. You’re off to Great Places! You’re off and away! You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy (and gal) who’ll decide where to go. Dr., Seuss, Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

Thank you to those teachers, administrators and students who offered their comments.
