Teaching What You Need to Learn

There are a number of studies running around that indicate the process of teaching something you are learning increases your ability to learn. As in just trying to learn something is about 5% effective vs Teaching what you need to learn increases ones ability to learn by 95%.

So here we are the world over, locked down to some extent, bored out of our minds ( some if not most of us anyways ) with nothing but a bunch of time on our hands.

So the principle is this... you want to learn how to ( thinking thinking thinking <insert loading circle icon> ) build a website. you simple start reading material about how to build a website and then SHARE aka TEACH with others how to do what it is you are learning.

The process of converting your learning into words of teaching will increase your ability to learn. The WF happens to be a great platform to do this - So is social media and blog posts for that matter.

So I challenge any and all to share what it is they are spending this time ( Corona Virus lock down ) learning, and open a topic and start sharing what it is you are learning in an effort to help others - to open a avenue of discussion with others that may be learning the same thing.. and those that already know - and may be able to assist you along the way.

So if you are learning PHP right now head over to the Programming Forum and teach us something. Or if you are working with a system to get better reach socially share that on the Social Media Forum. Or any topic you may personally be working on.

The vastness of interests and experience here on this forum ( WF ) is hugely under utilized. SHARE with all of us what you are learning - and understand in doing so you will actually be increasing your ability to learn.

Hope to see some stuff posted!
