I actually resurrected my blog when I started seminary last month. I need a place to journal my ideas and thoughts. Admittedly, my blog is the first thing to be neglected when life gets busy, but I've discovered it's importance, at least for my own spiritual walk. I hope your last year of school goes great!

Good to have you on. "Making people sit and listen is truly one of the most ineffective ways teaching." - I guess that is why some people love home (or) cellgroups better than the Sunday service: people get to interact, engage, and ask the questions there and then. Are there any good working examples (that you know of) of this "collective equipping" out there similar to what I am talking about? I'd really love to talk to you about this Sambo. I say coffee in Skerries soon ;) N Thanks Sam.

I work for an e-learning company an while I'm not an expert in how the brain works there is quite a bit I've picked in my line of work about how we learn. Not just learning to pass a test but learning to actually changing behavior. This study by IBM is a much used one and is very true and most teachers will know this. Making people sit and listen is truly one of the most ineffective ways teaching. The process that you describe is what succesful business and organisations have been using for quite a while to train and transform their people to take them to the next level. Why isn't the church doing more of it? There are some amazing tools out there (many of them are free open source solutions much like Word Press that your blog is based on) that can be used to do this kind of thing easily. Norman, give me a shout and would love to discuss how this could be done. Very good and valid points here.
