]]> Comment on Five Goals of Successful Learning by jimporto http://jimporto.wordpress.com/2007/10/04/five-goals-of-successful-learning/#comment-3 jimporto Sat, 06 Oct 2007 15:22:15 +0000 http://jimporto.wordpress.com/2007/10/04/five-goals-of-successful-learning/#comment-3 Steve, these are excellent additional goals. In trying to figure out how to translate "academic" learning to practice, it seems to me that new knowledge has to be translated into the hundreds of decisions we make every day. This requires (1) Effective Time management, which you also identify; (2) Good memory skills, which can be improved; and (3) Practice making decisions with the new knowledge. Thanks for the unexpected post. I was only posting these thoughts to help me remember and articulate them for myself. Your comments have been an added bonus!

How about some of these goals? 1. To avoid spending time on anything that you won't remember the next day or next week. 2. To be able to immediately use what you've learned to do something new or do something better. 3. To reduce the time it takes to learn and use something new by spending enough time on practice and experience.

1. To avoid spending time on anything that you won’t remember the next day or next week.

2. To be able to immediately use what you’ve learned to do something new or do something better.

3. To reduce the time it takes to learn and use something new by spending enough time on practice and experience.
