Philosophy as inquiry into assumptions: What do we not even know that we don't know?

Hello Again! I'm thrilled that you made it back to my Rocks and Water:Truisms beyond the classroom blog.  By the way, if you are interested in adding a video to your blog post, it's pretty easy and I am happy to walk you through the steps that worked for me. Ultimately, for me, the hardest part proved seeing and hearing myself on camera; the technical part  turned out fairly easy to negotiate. The important thing to remember is to enjoy the processes. For me, tapping into the fun factor is where the magic happens.  Lights, camera, action....  Shine on!

Welcome to Rocks and water: Truisms beyond the classroom  

Why rocks and water you ask?  Since the beginning of time, rocks and water have always functioned as two of the most powerful, transfomative elements on our planet.  Rocks and water shape our landscapes, contrast movement and substance, support what we stand on, and carry us to new places of being. 

The truisms of transformative teaching and learning practices that I hope to capture and share here are truisms because, like rocks, truisms will stand the test of time and hold true to form across domains. In counter play, as fluid as water, truisms can travel and can take many forms... Each possess the potential to carve out new paths where there once was resistance blocking flow and energy . Humans possess the technology to harness or channel water.  Truisms capture the essential qualities represented in rocks and water in ways that I believe inspire transformative teaching and learning practices beyond the classroom.
