#1 and #3 could also mean that you need more "junior games" right away that kind of sort of simulate the entire experience instead of learning from elements. I suggest picking up a copy of "Making Learning Whole" by David Perkins. I personally don't quite like the writing style but the content is pretty interesting and important. Super Cliffnotes version: try to frame everything you learn in some sort of mini-version…
on “If Susan Can Learn Physics, So Can You (2013)” ↗Same!! On lesson 2 and already feel like I know so much! The top down approach to learning is great! Will actually read the book "Making Learning Whole" that inspired them to follow this approach.

The basic idea is to teach the whole game. That means that if you're teaching baseball, you first take people to a baseball game or get them to play it.…
on “AI Expert Roadmap” ↗…what the original article says matches pedagogy literature e.g. if I look at 'Learning and Motivation in the Postsecondary Classroom' by Svinicki chapter 7 about goal-oriented motivation for learning or 'Making Learning Whole' by Perkins chapter 7 about reasons and ways to 'put the learner in driver's seat' then this seems to say similar things as this article only in more detail and with some evidence basis. There is no…
