From where does personal and local change derive? How can we use change to promote deeper learning as individuals and in our local settings?
Personal and local change are controllable by us to a certain extent. That is, you and I can effect change in our immediate circle. I have learned that I have more influence than I realized as I have worked through my action research project. And through this project, I have learned the value of reaching beyond my immediate circle to seek knowledge and opinion that can help effect positive change.
But even local change must take global change into account. The technologies that are connecting us are continuing to expand our local context. For example, I consider my cadre of students that I interact with to be my friends. I have been interacting with some of them more than my friends who live near me. Yet, they live thousands of miles away. To me, they have become part of my local environment.
