Hi Linda:
Good analogy...would we want to be students in this class if we were students? It's all about learning. Yes, we teach to transfer knowledge, but if students don't learn, then the quest, "have we taught?". Teaching and learning. They're supposed to go together hand in hand, but unless we make it so, it will not happen automatically, even if we have the best laid out and organized curriculum in the world.
