Editor's Notes
- GATHER/OBSERVE - hear "news", ideas, tools that I hear about via Twitter, email, casual convo, conf calls, meetings, presentations, iGoogle news feed, Daily Show, books, etc.. - personal exploration based on a "need" I have: work need (prep for a meeting, a project/product), personal need (family, home, health, travel, sports), a personal desire to know more (exploration) - sometimes leads right to idea generation or action (5%), but usually leads to select SELECT - get engaged enough to decide it's worth exploring more: make a note in my notebook, send myself an email reminder, or just try and file it away in memory (weakest link) - probably 10% or less of what I hear RESEARCH - While sometimes I can instantly "research" them, I usually explore them later - usually at home, late at night. - Read book - Probably following-up on about 50% of what I decided was important, what I selected ACTION - do something with my new info: annotate it (Delicious), make something (preso, workshop, video, tech), share it with others (prof= twitter, personal=FB), think about it/reflect, idea generation (sometimes with peers/spouse, sometimes in notebook), decide I need to know more (more gathering with indep research or increasingly from human network which is faster and better quality) - percentages for each Total time for all this, compared to school? Where did learning occur? If I'm paying attention to the process, then Throughout! Always learning about learning.
