Learning is not a spectator sport! 
Touch your world; feel it, smell it, taste it, listen, question it and interact!

"The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing."
- John Powell


Our class is about learning to make connections to the world...the past and the present, so that you are not only prepared for, but can seize the future!

Use what you read, see, and hear in the world! Process the sounds, images, ideas, suggestions, and messages and learn to sort through "the hype" to construct you own meaning and make sense of the past.

Along the way, I hope that you will find the answers to some of your own burning questions:  WHO?  WHY? WHAT? HOW? WHERE? WHEN?
