Questions of the day

(1) Is therapy a form of learning?

I know this is broad - what kind of therapy? Learning in what sense? What is the relationship between therapist and client?
But just interpret it however you want.
Is therapy a form of learning (or can it potentially be)? Does therapy engage learning processes?

(2) What is educational psychology?

Tiler Peck and Nuttin' but Stringz

So I'm going from Earth Day and environmental awareness to something much more fickle, but this performance was absolutely amazing.
In fact, I'd go so far as to say it was awesome.
Travis Wall choreographed the Macy's Stars of Dance performance, featuring Tiler Peck (principle ballerina for NYC Ballet Co) and the violinist duo Nuttin' but Stringz, for the Dancing with the Stars Week 4 "Results Show" (aired 4/13 - I'm a little behind).

These performers are all amazing, musicians and dancers alike.
Something fun to check out (you can also find it at www.hulu.com - at about 28:50 :)

Happy Earth Day!



Happy Earth Day, everyone!

I'd like to share this article - Can you afford to go green? - that Heidi directed my attention to.
My favorite aspect of the article? It reminds us that "going green" doesn't require the drastic, expensive changes people often initially think. Just start by consuming less. Yup, it's that easy. And I'm definitely a big fan of recycling and buying recycled. And carpooling can be a good way to get to know some really awesome people. But the take-home message: start small, and suddenly it's not so intimidating.

Hope you had a good day today :)
