If I were to start a school, perhaps these would be the principles:
Read more efficiently.
Memorize more effectively.
Learn more quickly and completely.
Because if you have those - you will enjoy them, because knowledge that comes easily is enjoyable. If you enjoy them, and they come easily, the temptation to other things is greatly diminished.
Discuss?
Sounds simple, but makes sense. (Mike and I had a long discussion about this, thanks to your post. ^_^) These are principles that instructional designers try to incorporate into their work, but how it all practically plays out is what gets tricky.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to be in on that discussion. Perhaps sometime you can give me the highlights.
ReplyDeleteI think there's a big difference between designers trying to make things easier for the average person to read, and the average person learning to read more efficiently - but I'm sure you got that.
