A1. For me at MU, service learning was required for us to do. Whereas taking action is your own choice as to what you do #worldgeochat

stephensonmused Apr 25 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: Taking action should be an ongoing practice, while service learning is a short-term project. #worldgeochat

JeremyDBond Apr 25 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1) It's not "1 & done"; we raised money and sent it away. It's understanding a problem to commit to a comprehensive solution. #worldgeochat
