Learning by doing

10/16/2018

Seth’s blog today  talks about the importance of doing in the effort of learning something. This is a fundamental principal that sometimes gets confused when we’re in pursuit of a new goal. 

So many of us can watch some YouTube videos and have the confidence to be the next president or knowledge to understand the dynamics of a complex economic and political system. 

The trouble is that experience is still the king when it comes to learning. You can’t swim by reading books or watching videos. Even advanced scientific theories have no credibility without experimental evidence backing them up.

How many of you are teaching innovation without experimentation in your classes? 

Never under estimate the educational value of turning over a log to learn about habitats or programming a Sphero to reinforce computational thinking.
