It's Nice to Share

This graphic and other optical illusions can be found on http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/illusion/illusions.htm

I am digging a post by @brad5patterson shard via @seburnt on Twitter.  Brad asks educators to share "a quote that defines your teaching style.

This is a tough one for me- so many quotes, so little time!  However, the first thing that came to mind is the illusion I found (above) a few years back.

Don't you think this captures the essence of teaching?  I feel very fortunate.
Thanks for reading- now go share something :)

    Thanks for sharing, Laurie. That illusion is pretty powerful. Illusions are playing with our vision, and when i think of vision i always think of the etymological origins of that word and how it's forked into wisdom and vision (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=vision&searchmode=none)

    Kind of how learn and teach are wrapped up in the same identity etymologically as well ! (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=learn&allowed_in_frame=0)

    Ah, etymology always keeps me thinking ;-)

    Cheers, Brad

      Thank you and LOVE it TK! You sure do! WE sure do! Teaching has immortality built right in! Little did my 5th grade teacher Mrs. Siemer know. She would be very proud. She always said, "Courtesy is Contagious!" She touched my future, and now, yours. :)
