THE LIGHT BULB OF LEARNING - Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 234

In this brief episode, Dr. Shaw explores that moment for all of us when we grasp a concept that we are learning, and the experience of learning kicks into gear.  She refers to that as the moment the light bulb goes on over our heads, but she also points out that the crucial moment is what we do in the learning process before that moment of understanding kicks in.  When we are trying to teach something new, we need to hold onto two concepts... what is the aim of the new skill we are teaching and are we creating confusion.  As you are teaching a concept, you should check for understanding with you child.  A child will often say they understand something when they don't, so check in with them and offer to explain whatever it is.  It doesn't matter how old we are, 6 or 66, when we learn, that light bulb turns on.
