7. "If I wanted to predict your happiness, and I
could know only one thing about you, I would
not want to know your gender, religion,
health, or income. I'd want to know about
your social network.” –Daniel Gilbert
42. “We need to move beyond the idea that education is
something that is provided for us and toward the idea that
an education is something we create for ourselves. “-
Stephen Downes

Is this most ideal, most innovative spot to be seeking out others to learn with?
What if no on in our building knows what we are supposed to do? - My journey.
