What Have I Learned Today?

The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery. – Mark Van Doren

There will be days when there just isn’t enough time to write.

Today is one of those days.

With no time at all then, what is the answer to the question “What have I learned today?”

1. Action research is a good way to figure out what works for you.
2. Make it simple. Complexity causes failure.
3. If you listen carefully, you will learn what needs to be done.
4. Choose the tools you use carefully.
5. Sometimes you just have to wade through the marshes before you find solid ground.
6. Eventually, you will find a solution if you work on it for long enough.
7. The time to test is when you think you’ve finished. And before. And after.
8. When you’re out of time, stop.

Cheers,
