Learning methods, tools, media keep changing
Learning methods, tools, media keep changing
libraries is where we could learn on our own
buying our own books to read
then traveling
then living
but then STANDARDIZED EDUCATION programs were created and learning became the activity/ies that we did led by a teacher in industrialized assembly line approaches
sitting at the feet of learned people
sitting on the laps of learned family members
then learnings were grouped in programs outside of our homes and our daily lives:
K, 1 to 12, bachelor, masters, doctoral, post doctoral
we learned within packages, systems, programs
we didn't just learn whenever we wanted to
I found most teachers boring and limited, even the pleasant, nice ones.
But learning for me was from all the rest of my life during my awake hours
reading
listening
talking with other people
watching tv
watching movies
watching life around me
living
traveling
doing things: learning from successes or failures
thinking about those 9 things
now I can learn using electronic devices
with no printed books, no articles...
all by myself anywhere I can carry an electronic device with or without wifi reception
I can carry an entire Carnegie Library on my iPod, iPad, Amazon Fish, Kindle, laptop
