LEARNING

DRAWING
"Learn how to Learn"
People learn differently, we are always trying to find the best way to learn new things. Since we are babies we start wanting to roll, walk and talk. Then, we start growing up and we want to learn how to paint, add and subtract. Once you get to my age (16), things start getting a little more complicated; life in general gets more complicated. You start looking for ways to make life easier and understand it better. Today in the IA (Innovation Academy), I learned how to learn.
Mr. Akin, our school principal, came to the IA to see what the “crazy ones” were doing. He found us on a oval discussing chapter 12 of “Naked Economics”. Immediately Mr. Akin decided to participate in our discussion and taught us something new: Learn Through Drawing.
The Solution so that you don’t forget them: Learn through Drawing
I have mentioned Learn through Drawing a couple of times now. But what is it? The subject is simple but effective. You draw the most important aspects of what you want to remember. Pictures can be more powerful than words. For example: For chapter 12 of naked economics, I drew a chef. Why? Because this chapter discussed the importance of specialization and I knew that a chef would make me remember this. Instead of writing a full word document about this chapter I knew that the chapter was about specialization, that you had to work on what you where best (because everyone is good at something) and that people need to rely on others at points of their life because you cant do everything yourself.
