I will utilize this blog while I explore methods, approaches, philosophies, and techniques for online teaching. My main thoughts going into this research are these: Education has been hijacked by competition. Students only understand education through numbers, grades, and awards. I believe an online community, diverse in its creation, can revive education into a fun, relaxed, enjoyable culture. Ideally, students will see education as a way of life–not the road to a career. Eliminating competition and creating participation are the two main barriers I see facing online education, especially education with zero incentives. Can it be done? Stay tuned.
* This site is private because I will write exclusively about Culture of Conversation. I do not wish for my brainstorm to be public knowledge. Once I work out my ideas thoroughly, applying them to my web site, I will then post them on my blog, willbrehm.com.
