We are all better off when we work together.
No one is smarter than everyone.
Active learning is more effective for the teacher, student and system than passive learning.
Interdependance is the only sustainable method.
The shift to sutainable systems is not optional.
We have the ability to create anything, what are we going to create?
"Creating 21st Century solutions with 19th Century information and methods, may not work, it's the definition of insanity."(Einstein). ? Can evidence of this quote be found?

Wiki	A wiki is a type of website such as Wikipedia that lets anyone create and edit its pages, enabling fast and easy collaboration. The word Wiki is short for WikiWikiWeb. Wikiwiki is a word from Hawaiian, meaning "fast" or "speed." In a wiki, people can write pages and edit content together. If one person writes something wrong, then the next person can correct it. The next person can also add something new to the page. People can discuss there as well, which can make people understand things better, and/or gives them a chance to tell their views. Wikis can be used for different things and all wikis don't follow the same rules for using them.
