Education has always been exceptionally important to me. Unfortunately, too many people only see education as a destination (for example, their goal as far as education is concerned revolves around getting a degree or a certificate of some sort) rather than as a journey. In order for someone to be truely educated, they must understand that education is a journey, a continual process, and something that doesn’t end. We live in a dynamic world. Each day is different, especially when it comes to technology.

There is a vast difference between someone that feels that they know something because of a degree and someone that feels confidence because they have been required to truely learn something. I am not saying that a degree is without value. Formal education is important, but it is only the first step of many. Bloom’s Taxonomy for learning shows that simply knowing something does not mean that we can use that knowledge. Experience allows one to have a profound understanding of any particular topic.
