Here at the Tapestry of a Liberal Studies Education blog, we'll be sharing our discoveries, insights, and reflections on what it means to draw on and to powerfully use the liberal arts educations you've acquired while here at Chapman. Each week, two people from one section of LBST 497 or another will host the blog, posting interesting sites, videos, and discoveries, and inviting comment and discussion. Meanwhile, everyone will have the opportunity to comment and respond.
Here, for example, is an interesting video on an elementary school that uses a garden as a community-building activity, building bridges between the school, the parents, and the community.
It's interesting how this teaching innovation has been linked to "Peak Moments" in our culture. How appropriate do you find this tie-in to school learning?
