Challenging your own Learning
Who reads a lot, right no "write".
Your brain needs help to form new ideas and to be able to flow through the world of thought or thoughts others may have had. But you should also think about writing as it challenges the brain to actually be productive, while increasing neuron plasticity in the cranium.
What you see, what you hear and what you do are ways we learn and when placed in combination aids in retention of a subject material. Those who were or are teachers or instructors have ordinarily wrote a lesson plans to deliver a message or block of instruction to a class to promote learning. Perhaps in a cognitive way or developed for skills based learning pending on the course. The lesson plans assured the best method of delivery of the subject matter to the student, with an anticipated percentage of learning to be achieved.
However, someone had to first develop the material that would be provided to the student; then a criteria or level of learning be established. It would be required for the student for any given task to assure that each student received positive and equal education. The course developer (you), might spend several hours of research and notes in developing a course, for which you have become the first student in that chain. Self-learning in order others might be taught a prescribed curriculum.
Now some people may think "school for kids"; but that also include Votech and Colleges. As well as job sites where technical instructors are employed for certain task for safety and performance tasks. Those instructors may be from technical colleges or from businesses that specialize in methods and principles of evaluation.
The cream comes from the the creator of the subject, but everyone enjoys the response they get when the student reciprocates what they have learned in the real world.
Challenge yourself to write short stories, articles, a book or even a course for training. You will find it is often more fun than actually receiving education from others. Just choose a topic, research that topic; develop some goals you would want students to learn, then a set of criteria to what degree will the student learn or expected to know by the material your provide. List of prerequisites, do they need a book, pens and paper or perhaps they need hard hats and safety vest. Develop you course, provide for a summery for all you provided and a method of evaluating the amount of retention your students received.
Alternatively, skip the course and write a short story, a book. Whatever it takes to keep one's mind flowing with ideas. You will learn the more you develop on your own the better you become and the more you have learned as well. Remember I said you learn from what you see, hear and do. You will be your own student and achieve more than sitting in a class of your piers.
