Knowledge, Learning, Community

I have long maintained that the true benefit of online learning will be realized when it frees us from the classroom. By that I didn't mean a pandemic-inspired flight, but rather an inspired and informed form of learning that takes places in forests, on farms, or on ships. Or wherever. That's why I like this sort of programme being offered by a school in Maryland. The article is useful, though it has a weird fascination with competitions, certifications by horticulture boards, and political appointments. Ignore that part of it: focus on the good of getting away from 'book work' and into the community. Via the 74.
