Education

My true fascination in life is how do people learn. What motivates that curiosity that is imperative for continual engagement with new or more complex problems or tasks throughout life? I've been teaching since 1975 in fields that many feel are tangential to "core" education subjects -- music and information literacy (in libraries). But both fields allowed me to experiment, observe, and talk to learners about connections and relationships between disparate ideas. (I also love metaphors and believe they are a powerful thinking tool.)
