Knowledge requires no key, but a closed mind cannot access it.
The educator’s challenge is to create the environment in which the closed mind can bloom.

If you only know the colonial name #Lapland, you’ll have a very hard time finding accurate information about Saami People. Instead, you will learn to use a name that contains a racial slur for the people whose land you unknowingly stand on.

A good study that shows what many teachers have been experiencing for a long time – even before the pandemic: an onslaught of education technology that just made our administrative load worse.
