Editor's Notes
- These are pretty harsh words here. You have a moral obligation to connect with other educators. Again it is because education is no longer a profession that works in isolation. No matter what your area of expertise, no matter what your your whatever you’re teaching there’s somebody there to share that information with and someone that wants to share with you.
- Here’s somebody that works in probably the most isolated places on Earth’s name is Ted Scambos and he’s scientist
- Everybody has something to share when you leave here today you will have something to share with you think it’s important or not you will have something to share.
