Well this might not seem true, but in a sense you know that it is true. Who really wants to carry the weight of knowing everything – that duty is reserved for a higher being, so unless you really do know everything, you can stop pretending, RELAX, your place here on earth is still assured.
Now that we have established that there is still a lot of learning to get on with, we can reflect on how the process of learning is one of our greatest social activities. It forces us to engage. We become socialized by school, and as adults we learn new skills, sometimes just to meet new people, and so it is one of the most human of pastimes.
If you have read my post ‘The Teachings of Bruce’, you will have an impression of the way that I am planning to present learning in this blog. I am not going to assume a position of authority by presenting up to the minute research in the area of learning, but learning will be a theme in my posts. If on the other hand, you have a deeper or more academic interest in learning and want to share, then great, post your page address here. If others want to dive from here into the deep end, or alternatively dive from the deep end back here and into the shallow end, I’m all for it.
62% of participants in Technorati’s 2008 ‘State of the Blogosphere’ indicated that connecting with like-minded people was a major reason for blogging, and 73% felt that the sharing of expertise and experiences were major reasons to blog. So, if you are remotely interested in learning, or blog about learning yourself, then my blog could become base camp #1 on the way to finding your blog. Creating this blog is part of my ongoing study at Curtin University, so feel free to drop by from time to time, you might meet like-minded people passing through.
