I Open At The Close

The story that defines me is one of dissatisfaction I suppose: I was a young psychology lecturer who, through the application of learning theory to technology, discovered that none bore much relation to reality - and began to question their validity.

It troubled me (but no-one else, it seemed) that so much activity could be based on so little; that without an answer to that fundamental question 'how do people learn?' every 'learning' conversation was just noise. Every educational activity merely ritual.

So I set out to answer those questions, but in answering them I have only found myself further from the conversation, distanced from the activity.

It feels like I should conclude this post, somehow - but there is no conclusion as yet.
