Note To Self...

"If the creation of the conceptual networks that constitue each individual's map of reality is the product of constructive and interpetive activity, then it follows that no matter how lucidly and patiently teachers explain to their students, they cannot understand for their students." (Schifter and Fosnot, 1993 p.9)

-We use existing ideas/ideals to construct a new idea, developing in the process a network of connections between ideas. The more an idea's used and the more connections made, the better we understand.
