Learning to Learn, Learning to Teach
Manage episode 371087474 series 3478184
On learning models, DnD, and dressage.
This time we grabbed a light topic with roleplaying games, horse riding, and arts, and gathered around an unlit campfire with the dogs for what turned out to be a deep dive into our learning and teaching experiences.
The path we took:
- Our most recent learning choices, favoring tabletop roleplaying and literary writing over tools of the trade.
- How learning things unrelated to our profession helps build context for our work.
- Teaching university classes, bootcamps, nights and weekends, designers, coders, and horse riders.
- The unseen work of mentoring or explicit teaching responsibilities.
- Learning models and pedagogical approaches, black boxes and cognitive apprenticeship.
- Gatekeeping by degrees versus the democratization of education.
- And a question for you, while we run from the boars: what is your favorite unexpected skill or piece of knowledge that you could use in your work?
