    Steve Wheeler has some 'Synching feelings'

    One final word: We need to remember that professionals built the Titanic, but an amateur built the Ark. It's not always about expertise - sometimes it's about passion.

    Go visit & read the whole post... but I wanted to share the quote above, and the post script to my comment below.

    ps. I love your 'One final word'!

    Many uneducated farmers have taken machinery built by 'experts' and made them better. Many 'amateur' stargazers have made astronomical discoveries within clear view of the experts. Many educators are turning their practice inside-out and sharing what they do with the world, while the experts model great schools around getting good standardized test results... hmmmm.
