Amazing! True!

This collection of 131 stories has been maintained since the original presentation at the 2009 Open Education Conference. Perhaps the best example I can share is the Amazing Unknown Flower story.

I’ve asked people several times since then to share theirs. In this newest SPLOT powered site, you can add your own stories directly.
