My Philosophy of EducationMost students find school to be incredibly boring (hope to resolve this through “blendEd learning”)
Today’s teens are efficient, multi-tasking individuals that need to be engaged in the learning process
Jobs of the future require teamwork, globalization, networking, technological and creative problem-solving skills
It IS possible to be active, have fun, be creative, and learn at the same time
Evidence to Support My TheoriesFr. Guido Sarducci’s Five Minute College http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO8x8eoU3L4
