This year I am sharing another compilation of quotes and concepts I have collected over the past year from my personal learning network.

I feel fortunate and am grateful to be inspired by so many people that are in my world, so this year, I share with you, quotes from these remarkable individuals.
- Teaching is listening, learning is talking. -@DebMeier Deborah Meier
- The little learning machines who learn to walk by walking and talk by talking also learn to read by reading and write by writing.
-Linda Dobson - If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
-@Rmart73 Robert Martinez - It is nature's intent that children of all ages live and learn in freedom and joy, through play and by following their own interests and passions. -@LaurieACouture Laurie A. Couture
- Being "Schooled" and being "Educated" are not the same thing.
-@mbteach Mary Beth Hertz - We can do so much better than 'no child left behind' - we can get to EVERY child shines!
-Mariaemma Pelullo-Willis - The simple fact that a learning achievement is measurable doesn't make it relevant.
-@lexhupe Lex Hupe - Don't look for errors in your learning, look for learning in your errors.
-inspired by @mrmacraild Ryan MacRaild - What I want from my kids’ school is to help me identify what they love, what their strengths are, and then help them create their own paths to mastery of their passions. Stop spending so much time focusing on subjects or courses that 'they need for college' but don’t interest them in the least. Help them become learners who will be able to find and make good use of the knowledge that they need when they need it, whether that means finding an answer online or taking a college course to deepen their understanding. And finally, prepare them to create their own credentials that will powerfully display their capabilities, passions and potentials.
