Learning to learn

How to learn, make it stick in an increasingly monetized, distraction-filled, viral, and ephemeral world?

This is an ongoing topic on notetaking, education methods, digital detox, and using the internet responsibly. For most there will be a strong focus on analog (print flashcards, textbooks, whiteboarding) and in-person.

Topics

  • Online tools are great, but how do we overcome our overreliance on them? How do we make their incentives align with our own?
  • Do the creators of your edtech service (profit or non profit) share you values?
  • What are the incentives for online tools? Is multiple choice really the best way to assess knowledge or is it just easier to monetize? It costs more to assess students in essay form.
  • How to make connections between tech and the arts in your learning?
  • Is teaching really the best way to learn or is it just another way to force us to tear ourselves away from the computer, be able to explain things in great detail and visualize material?
  • What can we learn from past textbooks? past ways of learning?
  • How can we learn from each other?
