A Marvelous Animation about the (Never-Ending) Learning Process

If you haven't yet seen any of the "Born to Learn" animations that have appeared online, here is a great place to start.  http://vimeo.com/20924263

The thinking that, well, animates this video is at the heart of the evolving paradigm of teaching and learning at Friends.  The ongoing and accelerating breakthroughs in brain research have helped us to understand the learning process in new and exciting ways, and it is incumbent on all of us as educators to put these new understandings to work in our classrooms.  This is just one of the factors that makes this such an exciting time to be a teacher and a learner.
