James Paul Gee says in his 2003 book that learning is both frustrating and life-enhancing. One doesn't have to look very far in this community to see how that quote applies!
We are all, well with the a few notable exceptions, frustrated when we begin. The mountain seems so insurmountable. And yet, when we crest the peak...our lives are so enhanced!
If the Open House on Saturday is not convenient, please advise me. I may be able to do another at a time more convenient for you. All time zones are welcome, of course...and remember, I don't know what I am doing either.....
