What Is Learning? “ Learning can be defined formally as the act, process, or experience of gaining knowledge or skills.   In contrast, memory can define the capacity of storing, retrieving, and acting on that knowledge.   Learning helps us move from novices to experts and allows us to gain new knowledge and abilities”.  (From  How Adults Learn, by Marcia L. Conner )

The only person who is educated is the one  who has learned how to learn and change.  (Carl Rogers) I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and six months as a cabdriver. Then they would really be educated.    ( Al MacGuire) Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind.  ( Plato)
One Final Word! Things manage to work themselves out and nature has always confirmed that…. Change is happening; so, let’s let it be Time to Learn how to learn  

In contrast, memory can define the capacity of storing, retrieving, and acting on that knowledge. Learning helps us move from novices to experts and allows us to gain new knowledge and abilities”. (From How Adults Learn, by Marcia L. Conner )
