Learning: your brain digs it.

Ever wonder why you feel so good when you find something out or visit a new city? Well, your brain likes new smells, sights, sounds, and experiences (Recommended reading on this topic: Berns/Satisfacton)

That sounds like learning to me.

These days there is so much to feed our brains with that what we really need is more time. For example, did you know that MIT opens up their courses so that anyone can see how the classes are structured and the readings required? If you wanted, you could give yourself an MIT education. Or perhaps Berkeley.

I can see Nationers putting out info on how to paper mache, robot building, sourcing materials, squeegee, etc. etc. etc. How about how to make a classroom the place to be?
