Another way to build a foundation of "shared ideas" that connect us and support our school work

One way to inspire each other is to go to a website.
Another way to build a shared set of ideas is to show videos to each other.  Dr. C. often shows me what he is currently watching.  This helps me to see his mindset and direction of growth.

TinyURL.com/AskTeachers10 is a web site and inside that website is a set of pages about What do our teachers study?

I've posted dozens of links.
You can suggest items that are helpful.   What gives your life meaning?  What items can you share with us that will inspire us to see the world through your eyes. https://sites.google.com/site/10questionstoask/what-do-our-teachers-study

This blog is another way.   If you start at one of the blog posts and keep clicking through time, you'll get through the items ... The headline of each post might help you with the references
