#MOOCMOOC on Critical Pedagogy
I learned some new terms today..one being Critical Pedagogy, so I set of on a quest to define this term for my self. From Wikipedia (OK I know we (are supposed to) hate Wikipedia, but I may start there and get three or four more definitions from other websites, which I think is good practice [...]
Book study: Saving Higher Education The Integrated Competency Based Three Year Bachelor’s Degree Program
Several years ago I had the opportunity to teach in an accelerated degree program. I enjoyed this opportunity as I could teach a 3 credit hour course in five weeks and then move on to the next one. I also like it because I was teaching working adults who brought a lot of their experiences [...]
