Learning Theory through Storytelling...

Learning theory through storytelling can be an effective method as there is opportunity to relate to and empathise with the narrative. Application of complex subjects becomes more accessible as normally a variety of scenarios are given as example.  Subject matter can be extensive and varied, for example; learning about animal psychology and physiology as demonstrated on our  Positive_Cultivation  blog. "Do you want your child to be safer around animals? this book promotes observation of behaviour and positive interactions as well as introducing basic learning theory principles that are transferable between species (including humans) and can help understand the way we ourselves learn. Vera’s story encourages readers to follow their dreams and uniqueness."  Vera & Bob In addition,  watch ShirleyFilms  present;  The Great Debate: THE STORYTELLING OF SCIENCE Part 1 The Great Debate: THE STORYTELLING OF SCIENCE Part 2

Quirks + Perks

It is crucial to pursue objective truth and yet you must remember to also inject your novel quirks and perks into your design / method.  If you are obsessed with the brain stimulating puzzles like the Rubik's cube , or coding ( binary ) and algorithms, maybe magnets is your persuasion?! Perhaps you are obsessed with musical instruments or the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio. Is it Space ? Stardust - Atoms; Electrons, Photons, Quarks, Neutrinos, et al. Maybe you simply like hats or fascinated with colours and how light reflects and refracts. The “funny bone” (the ulnar nerve) and the sensations or with how a ladybug wings fold or maybe shoelaces strike a cord. You owe yourself the justice of thinking and exploring how these wondrous factors can inform your design and approach. We, your audience, want to celebrate the joy of your eccentric (expressive contribution). Induce the geek and take us on the journey with you!
