"Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est"
"For knowledge itself is power. ." ~ Francis Bacon (1597)
I discovered this video from, Angela Maiers , on her "Teacher Inspiration" page. It was orginally posted on John Castillo's blog. Read what Sandra Fivecoat says about the video in her post "Information/Deformation - Why Teachers Matter."
It presents a disturbing truth about knowledge (or lack of knowledge) today. Do we actually read the information we see online everyday? And if we are reading it, do we process the meaning it holds for us? The question becomes, what will we do with the vast amount of information available with the "click"
"Knowledge is itself power," And with knowledge comes responsibility...how long can we ignore the power of knowledge?
'til next time....be powerful,

I am so excited to find your blog. Thank you for extending this important conversation with your readers. Knowledge + Collaboration = Power and Happiness! Great post!
Love your new design, it looks fantastic. And thanks for sharing this video and your thoughts. I'm glad to know you are involved in the education of our young people.
Sometimes it is overwhelming, how are we going to arm our children with the awareness and wisdom to sift through all the "information" being thrown at them? How can we become more aware and wise ourselves?
