Learning and synthesis

Crossing the threshold to an "Eureka" moment...

I am always on the lookout for better ways of learning something. I keep asking the question around how does one teaches in a way that the learner truly synthesizes the subject on their own to receive some utility from their understanding. Today, I learned a few things about learning.

The model I learned about today is called the “Learning Pit”. This one so worth watching, so I have embedded the video below.

I had not realized Eureka in Greek literally means “I have found it”. I always knew Eureka as Eureka (a realization), but not as having found something that you are searching for.
