Reading that really makes you sit and think. The first time that I had ever seen this quote was while watching a video of Will Richardson (@willrich45) give a speech.
It may be one of the most powerful quotes that truly applies to education. Think about the power we have as teachers. We can teach students to be very learned people, or we can give them infinite power by teaching them to be lifelong learners.
Before I became a technology integration specialist, I was a Physical Education teacher. Our focus was to teach students activities that they can participate in for a lifetime. I think the same philosophy should be applied to all areas of education. If we can successfully get our students to the point where they are lifelong learners, then they will be prepared for everything the world throws at them.
If you want to be inspired, take an hour and watch the video above. It may change the way you view education!
