"Learning is an ongoing process of newly found intelligence and authentic experiences that creates motivation for the learner to make sense of the world. Be intentional, have confidence, and be authentic with your learners. Supported with practical and available technologies to engage learners to unearth deep levels of understanding, that become useful and applicable in their world, as the student is now able to create and contribute in meaningful and authentic ways." -A. Maierhofer
