What is Learning?

There are many ways and things to learn. I think the basic definition of learning is acquiring knowledge. I think you can acquire knowledge by experience and by information gathering. Experience is like riding a bike, you can read all you want about riding but until you do it you wont really learn how to ride a bike.
Then there is learning that takes place by gathering information. When learning how to get better at things you need to read and research to polish off the skill. I think that we need to be open to both types of learning and if we limit to just one type we are going to come up short.

  1. I just read some definitions of learning on wikipedia and there seems to be a lot more definitions and types of learning than I could imagine. But then again, I'm just starting to "acquire knowledge"! Good luck as we start this journey.
