my new way of learning

6 years in the tech world is the bridge between my first college experience at uva and my current experience at princeton seminary. i used to learn by writing everything down over and over. i used to write papers by hand and then type them.

now, i can't even imagine doing any of that. i still write things down at points in order to practice recalling information through a different medium. however, i now type everything.

in fact, i studied for my 2 midterms by creating a basic (admittedly 1995-esque) website with all the information. i picked up on a lot of the information simply by interacting with it as i put the site together. even better, i then could quickly jump from page to page to review the material.

i have come to realize how my brain has been trained to take in information via the web better than any other medium. it makes sense. it shows how much has changed in the past 6 years...

so what does that mean for the people that i some day want to teach? shouldn't i take into account that most of them (assuming the audience has access to the web and can use it) learn through that medium as well? is hearing the best way to learn anymore??? not for me...
