Just found this post!
I’ve been using the term “slow learning” for at least about as long as you. I can’t believe I just found this. Here’s another reaction to a discussion that also included you. http://slowlearning.org

Hope you’re still learning slowly!

Cheers,
Patricia

Much of our schooling structures support the idea that schooling is fast, rapid fire and this feels at times relentless. 5 classes a day, crowded curriculum, bells, whole new class groups every 45 minutes – as is the current structure for most of the teaching and learning in many of our secondary schools. This demonstrates that at our core, our schooling system does not value reflection and the ‘slow learner’…

Good luck though – I do believe it is the way to go! I have also checked out the website of what is happening in Australia at: learningandknowing.blogspot.com
Looks interesting – so perhaps there is change in the air…
’bout time….

Of course, that learning atrophies relatively quickly, without reactivation.” I’m torn between the need to put constraints – such as time – in order to innovate – whilst recognising that putting time as a constraint may also do the opposite.

I’m sure that slow learning is definitely needed in 2009 though,

Warm wishes,
Nicola
PS all the best with your mobile book!
