Hands on learning. Is it beneficial?
It allows our neural pathways to be created easily, more easily than it done for kinetic learners specifically than just like listening or reading. Right. And so I feel like when I was doing all online schooling, the only kind of types of learning was either listening or reading

I have that kinetic learning situation because when I go physically to write notes to, I don't know, like a classroom with a professor teaching or a teacher, my brain has a whole process to memorize all of that material. And it goes the same thing for learning something in general

I think that hands on learning is definitely a lot more beneficial than just kind of like watching a lecture or listening to a lecture. It can be helpful and nice and everything, but yeah, it can definitely be restrictive. I guess when you're hands on, you're more like in control of how you're learning, are in control of what you're absorbing. Good post. And I'm looking forward to hear what other people have to say, too. Do

In fact, I would have students that would get like 800, 901,000 on their SATS. They would end up with like a 2000, 2000, 102,200. This is like amazing. C students, D students. So that's my personal anecdote. During the pandemic, I started joining a senior stroll. One of my mentors is an 83 year old man, and we used to take seniors on strolls during the pandemic, and we were outside so it was safe

But for me, honestly, I would say I am somewhat of a kinetic learner, but I think by and large I have been doing social distance learning all my life, especially through YouTube is how I kind of learn a lot of things. So I will listen to YouTube as like a podcast, type up a certain subject and I'll listen to probably 8 hours worth of stuff within a day
I think that's so cool that you did that with your College or your high school students and that you had anecdotal evidence that it worked or empiricalized it say
Yeah. It's actually interesting Because a lot of labs were, like, really hard to do in person Because we didn't have any lab specimens. It's really hard to send embodiment animals through the mail. But there was one experience experience. One example where I actually did have a full aquaculture set up, like, in my house Where the teacher had sent us all the materials to create an algae tank and, like, a little shrimp tank. They're called, like, sea monkeys

So I guess the ending question that I do have is what do you think of YouTube? For the most part, I would say YouTube is a it's in a weird category. I can't say it's hands on but it's also not quite text or learning traditionally. So what are your thoughts? What are your thoughts on YouTube? But these are my thoughts. Professor 42 out

In my entire school life I have just had practical classes that do for Sciences, physics, chemistry and biology that also came to the later stages because when you are in the smaller classes they don't really pay much attention to the practicals. They hardly pay attention. And the practicals conducted are also very lame to be very Frank. And when you reach to the higher grades as in 11th or 12th grade, there is enough focus on the practicals. But the practicals there are also very lame
I think that it holds a lot of value, especially when learning training, really anything in life, you know, learning actually hands on physically, by doing learning from those mistakes, you gain so much more than just reading books on books on books. And so I think continuously in whatever we continue to do in the future, we do need to continue to have that hands on learning and not be fully virtual. Otherwise, we are going to lose bits and pieces of us

Hey. So I'm, like, totally with you. I am a hands on learner, but I had no idea. I guess it makes a lot of sense on how you're talking about, like, the neuropathways and, like, how you when you walk and you're doing stuff that you get ideas in your head and your brain is, like, flowing and it makes sense, and I just didn't know that. So thank you
