WHAT IS
LEARNING?
“
“…[L]earning is about going beyond the
knowledge given to you in a class or in a book….
Learning is personal. It happens one on one, it
happens in small groups, it happens alone. Sure,
a conference, a speaker, a lecture is motivating—
but the real learning happens after. It's what you
do with it, how you integrate it, how you talk to
your family, friends, and classmates about it.
That's what learning is.”
-Dennis Littky and Samantha Grabelle, The Big Picture: Learning is Everyone’s Business
“I knew that I had a learning problem when I was in high
school an dwas [sic] given a bunch of tests…and [was] told
that I had a learning disability…I have gone to
psychologists all my life because…I have always felt like I
am an underachiever, due to the fact that whenI [sic]
always went to class, the STYLE of teaching was not
interactive…
Everybody operates at a different pace, and this economy
will be most successful when most of us can operate at the
pace that best suits us, as we all do things AT A DIFFERENT
RHYTHM. WE LEARN AT A DIFFERENT RHYTHM AND
THINK AT A DIFFERENT RHYTHM.”
