A blog by and for students in the Teaching in a Democracy course at Winthrop University. This course focuses on the often conflicting philosophical, social, and historical purposes of American education.
Provides some helpful information for understanding experiential learning and education. Also, the article under "What's New?" about what makes an excellent teacher is interesting.
