I’m supposed to “think about something that you remember learning and you think you know well now. Describe your process of learning so that someone else could “follow your tracks””…and I can’t think of a single thing to describe.

I know how to do lots of things pretty well, but I don’t really remember learning them.  I know a lot of stuff, because I read about it and remembered it.

I think my general process of learning is:
-wonder about something (or not…sometimes I am forced to learn stuff, for class or by life)
-look around to see who or what can help me (experts, books, the internet…)
-do a bit of reading or research
-sometimes I talk out loud or make notes
-try to do whatever I am trying to do (the trial and error method, or push all the buttons and hope something works)
-if I can identify a specific gap in my knowledge, research that
-if I’m getting by ok, go with it-I don’t practice as such, but I improve because I have to continually use the new skill or knowledge I have developed

I think this is a fairly sloppy approach to learning.  It’s not how I study for tests, but I forget all that stuff pretty quickly.
