An Inconvenient Truth
Finally catch the movie “An Inconvenient Truth” by Al Gore. My wife and me just watch “The Day After Tomorrow” a couple of weeks ago again so much we were drawing parallel comparison between the two movie. Making it more interesting is that we just watch Penn and Teller: Bullshit! Environmental Hysteria, which present the […]
The Future of Learning

For the educators, this definitely rings a bell: “I could memorize your facts, but I got Google for that…Are you teaching me to think? Or just to take notes?” “Playing Small Does Not Serve the World…You’ve got one choice. […]
