40 L EARNING TO LEARN: BECOMING A SELF-GROWER
WOW. This is a powerful tool and one that I can begin to use immediately
in so many different contexts! I hate that I’m having some difficulty with
factoring in my Algebra course. I see how I can use the LPM to outline
precisely how I will tackle that problem. And this summer I’m taking an
Officer Training Course where I’ll need to learn the state codes inside
and out; that will be another place to apply the LPM. Bobby’s got the
tennis thing under control (I’m not going to admit how often he skunks
his oldman!), but he IShaving a tough time learning to play the guitar. The
LPM will provide him with a way to “divide and conquer” that challenge.
It won’t mean he or ANY of us don’t need to practice, but it does give an
incredible structure for tackling a learning activity. Oh, and I’m restoring
a 1972 Norton Commando motorcycle on the weekends and learning as
I go. While I probably won’t need to use all the steps of the LPM, that project
has dragged on long enough that I COULD use a new way to move things
along. Then there’s my sister who is taking a beginning pottery course...
