Who would choose to blog about learning, and is it even a topic?
Well I am going to find out the answer to that question by making learning, or the activity of learning, the subject of this blog. Rather than choose a specific interest such as photography or Web design, I decided to blog about that personal aspect that is always engaged in the pursuit of knowledge - the learning self.
The need to know more and the need to be able to adapt to changing situations is an aspect of self that directly affects our quality of life. I decided that this blog might give me the chance to step back from the specifics of my study at Curtin University, and provide an opportunity to observe and recollect some of the places and some of the ways that I have observed the process of learning.
Hopefully some of my reflections will include humor, and everybody knows that learning can certainly include that ingredient. Just bring to mind a time where you have seen young children adapt their behavior in response to a new or challenging situation, like who is it that gets to eat the last piece of cake at a party.
People develop in different ways, but it is guaranteed that nobody can get through life without developing skills along the way. Because my current learning is slightly serious and structured, I hope that this blog might give me a bit of respite, as I consider some of the entertaining and spontaneous situations where I have seen, or experienced learning first hand.
