We already know how to learn. The fact that I am here writing these words is proof that our ancestors learned how to survive and even thrive in ever-changing and often hostile environments. So learning is a natural process. And like any process it can be enabled or disabled.
Chris Collison and Geoff Parcell, in their recently updated book and CD, “Learning to Fly”, have what I believe is a paradigm shifting insight into this natural learning process:
“You can’t manage knowledge. Nobody can. What you can do is to manage the environment in which knowledge can be created, discovered, captured, shared, distilled, validated, transferred, adopted, adapted and applied.”
This presentation brings you the latest most up-to-date understanding of how we learn from the neurosciences to molecular biology. It will give you a number of concrete ideas, hints and new tricks for managing the environments that enable learning.
Description
Learning is a natural process that has been hardwired into our brains for thousands of years. It can be enabled as well as disabled. Most educational theories and practices, in schools and in companies disable the natural learning process. This program is about the ways we are learning to enable that process. Based on the latest findings from neurosciences, molecular biology and cognitive psychology. This is how we learn. So this is how we need to start teaching.
