The question, "What is worth knowing?" fascinates me. I love to work on it; deciding what to teach my students; weeding wordy textbooks.
In fact one of my personal goals is to write my own biology textbook for a class I teach at GSIS. I hope to learn a lot about the International Baccalaureate (IB) course titled, "Theory of Knowledge," because it sounds extremely interesting. Imagine discussions about ontology, philosophy, belief and truth! Wow!
Believe it or not, one of the hardest things in education is identifying what to teach or what should be taught. I have found some great material and will supply links to the original, where it can be found, and otherwise will publish material that I consider valuable directly on this page.
