How do you Learn?

I look at the way people learn from a biological perspective, the way in which the brain works, which I believe is part of a learning cycle. 1) To sense information (the sensory cortex) 2) To reflect on and integrate new information into what is already known (integrative cortex) and 3) to create mental or physical movement (motor cortex). Children must develop an understanding of what it is that stimulates or motivates them to want to engage in an activity that will bring a sense of accomplishment. That is the easiest way for them to learn. I happen to be a visual learner. I have always been a better hands on learner when it comes to learning. Children's understanding grows with rich experiences. Young children, often underestimated, absorb knowledge like a sponge. We want them to excel in all their developmental stages, but some parents, at times lack the will to let their full potential sore due to fear of dissappointment.

At my age I find it easier to learn by being resourceful, that is by independant research and networking. I also learn through and from the experiences ihad in life. Making the transition from infant to toddler to adolescent to adult has been the greatest learning experience. The amount of trial and error, success and failures, and a determination to exceed to higher levels in life, keeps my mind sharp, and my drive strong and yearning to reach my full potential. I feel that I have a lot more to do. The fact that I'm in graduate school makes me feel good and the program that I am a part of tells me that I have a lot more to learn still. I never blogged before, and all the new technology I'm being exposed to and using helps me to keep moving forward and be progressive in this learning process.
