How Best To Learn

ByWayne Willis
Nicky Case

I’m a big fan of Nicky Case’s work.  She is a hard-to-describe creator, making online simulations, zines, tools (e.g., Nutshell – a tool to make expandable explanations), simulators, etc.) as well as giving talks, offering YouTubes, etc.

She created a few things that addressed, in a brilliant synthesis of available cognitive science on the question, HOW PEOPLE LEARN.   It’s just a 4-panel graphic, but it’s got everything — memetics, phased irregular reinforcement, connections, recall

Enjoy!

  • Segway Tour of SF

    ByWayne Willis

    In the Summer of ’09, we all went on a Segway Tour of San Francisco … which I can heartily recommend.  We spent 30 or 40 minutes being thoroughly trained (it’s easy!) … and then we went out in the Fisherman’s wharf area … where cars are moving very slowly owing to the foot traffic….

  • Breakfast at Joni’s

    ByWayne Willis

    During the weekend of the Alcatraz race, we walked across the small park next to the Courtyard by Marriott to “Joni’s,”  a perfect little coffee-shop and restaurant.   It had simple and wonderful food — pancakes, eggs, oatmeal, milk, fruit … you name it.   Happily, we could sit outside, where, in the sun, it…
