Learning: Good, Better & Best

 

"The phrase "we learn best by doing" is closely associated with quotes from ancient philosophy, and more modern thinkers ,emphasizing experiential learning."  (Thanks, Google AI.)

* Aristotle:  "For the things we have to learn to do, we learn by doing

 them."

* Confucius:  "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand."

* Benjamin Franklin:  "Tell me and I forget; teach me and I may remember; involve me and I learn."

* Richard Branson:  "You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing and falling over."

How do we learn....... how does each of us learn something in the best way for us:

  • Are you a visual learner--seeing color, charts, graphs, images
  • Are you an auditory learner--listening to podcasts, lectures, classes online
  • Are you a reading/writing learner--reading books, taking notes
  • Are you a kinesthetic learner--- hands on!
Learn best by sharing what you know! That's universal advice. Get involved with your local genealogy society...... offer to help! Go for it!
