Shelly closed up his TeachPaperless blog this summer, as well as his formal classroom teaching career, to help the dhf found a series of community education and technology centers in Baltimore. His parting advice to teachers and students: "[G]o make stuff. Stop jumping through hoops. There is a world out there and there are a million different ways of becoming educated. You don't have to follow their rules. Go out there and make stuff. Stuff that matters. Stuff that makes people smile. Stuff that changes the way other people do things. Stuff that's beautiful. Stuff that's ugly. Stuff. Stuff you make. Stuff that reflects who you are rather than what they want you to be."
