Though universities are rushing to embrace online courses, true education requires one mind engaging with another.
Educators are coaches, personal trainers in intellectual fitness. The value we add to the media extravaganza is like the value the trainer adds to the gym or the coach adds to the equipment. We provide individualized instruction in how to evaluate and make use of information and ideas, teaching people how to think for themselves.
Just as coaching requires individual attention, education, at its core, requires one mind engaging with another, in real time: listening, understanding, correcting, modeling, suggesting, prodding, denying, affirming, and critiquing thoughts and their expression.

I am not sure I agree with the author (or other commenters!), but I like the conversation. My favorite part of the article, "Just as coaching requires individual attention, education, at its core, requires one mind engaging with another, in real time: listening, understanding, correcting, modeling, suggesting, prodding, denying, affirming, and critiquing thoughts and their expression."

Thought...the ability to think...imagine having the miraculous ability to "think about thinking?" And WHO in fact IS the THINKER? A principle and not "a person," surely? PS: just as electromagnetic "waves" exist without, e.g. a radio receiver or transmitter. I have no doubt that (super conscious, purely "spiritual" or "ethereal") MIND exists without (or beyond) the brain. And, of course, the reason why human beings are (10 %) conscious and (90 %) subconscious - and not "wholly conscious" is because of the "density" of matter. However, I do believe, that once everyone becomes fully aware of the part of the mind that is mainly asleep when they are awake* (*so to speak), and awake when they are asleep...this will be a start in the right direction...from a "thinking and plumbing the depths" point of view. And if matter is "light" reduced or condensed to the point of visibility (in or with the naked, physical eye). That "life" (and consciousness) is, in fact, "eternal" (and that there is no beginning or end to it).

Another "thought" (of which I clearly have an endless supply) is: If a computer - with all its bells and whistles in place - cannot compute without a "program" of "coded instructions" to control its operation. And the subconscious (or "collective unconscious") principle of mind, is "the repository; storehouse and treasure house, of the (written and spoken) "program(me)s" that LARGELY control the behaviour of man. And it is a scientifically proven fact that "learned knowledge can be transmitted from one organism to another by the transfer of certain cells; chromosomes and genes." What every human being needs to ask themselves is, "where did the initial program(me)s of information and knowledge that we possess - to one degree or another - come from?" From a primate that was not "programmed" in this way, and did not have this knowledge? (Impossible). So...where else could it have come from...?

A great way to start the school year or a course/class is by having students draw a self portrait and write about themselves. Then have them present it and display in the class. Another version is to have them draw and interview a classmate and write in the 3rd person. This simple handout will help you do this in a simple fashion. Delete the scoop?

I have to admit that I'm not a great fan of grammar, but this is a site that I do really like. It's called English Language and Usage and it is like a Q & A of English grammar. The site has a huge collection of questions that people have sent in about various aspects of English grammar idioms and general usage and anyone who is registered can the try to answer the questions.
