A while ago I posted the picture (l) on Facebook with the comment “My bedside
reading library is growing. Need to get to it.” The photo (r) could be added too
with a similar comment, how ever I have read some of these.
whelming. There are many more books I would like to add to my library but if I
can’t get around to reading them what is the purpose. Show? To be honest I
usually fall asleep 15 minutes after sitting down with a book. Much the same
can be said to the number of articles I have bookmarked/tagged from social
media. These however also fall prey to different problems. Graze or skim reading,
Skim Reading is the New Normal or the butterfly defect. Education is Not a
Question of Belief. This post is guilty of these (probably most of mine are).
These two mentioned articles could be cause for their own posts.

students learning or just memorizing what they are being taught?

The amount of information out there creates another problem for me. I keep

unable to share my knowledge, at least I am showing my path of learning.
