I feel that I am an onion rapidly shedding layers. Each layer is something that I used to believe about teaching that no longer applies. When I reach the core, I will retain only those layers from the past that are truly valuable to teaching in the digital age as well as a whole host of new beliefs about learning. When the 22nd century rolls around - those teachers will shed layers that I helped develop!

That's a neat thought to remember, that someday others will re-invent education after us. For now, though, it's up to us to keep re-inventing the education the parts of "school" that came in the 19th century. Keep it up, Heidi!
