That's good for breaking down preconceptions and parsing ideas to get to basic definitions and such, but if you're learning something like, say, a musical scale, you've just got to sit down and remember the intervals, then bang it out again and again until it sticks. Quite true. I guess you can lea...

I found the socratic learning method quite powerful as a method of teaching. One could probe for prior misconceptions or misunderstandings then address those directly. Also created peer-peer cooperation in reaching solutions.

Much like the debate in this thread

I wondered why my "Foam Monthly" mag was short on content.

Lighten up. Write to the editor and tell them to expand the content.

The discussion should be extended to what one means by learning- surface or deep. In my school years it was very much surface learning - trying to memorise topics/ points by reading. In later years I found I retained knowledge and understanding much more easily via visual observation of events ( bei...

The UK population should show their objection to this farce of a World Cup by informing BBC/ITV/Sky that they will switch off and not watch televised games.

Looks to me like it can be mains powered (240v) or used with a portable battery pack. In that case, you would only need to charge the battery pack up to use it which you could presumably do at home or on site. That would be my take on it as well. Looks like a battery charger in the bag. The thingam...

If you definitely want 12V out to a normal 13A UK 3 prong plug just buy a short 13Amp extension lead, cut the 13A plug off the end and attach the croc clips to the blue and brown wires of the striped back lead. You can then plug in your 3 pin plug to the socket.

Apparently the recycling of bird bodies is pretty efficient.
