Dale's Cone

This was an insightful article about the modes in which we learn. The mode is determined by the amount of experience we have the the subject being considered. When we first start out we must experience it directly. We havew to do to be aware and understand. Once that is established we learn more through pictures and visuals. The highest mode at the tip of the cone is learning by symbols. All of these modes have potential wth today's technologies. Blogs are an excellent way to collaborate symbolically. And RSS lends itself nicely to engaging multiple learners interactively.

Mark, I also found the article to be interesting. I think as educators its important for us to try to hit multiple areas on the cone(as suggested in the article). Finding ways we can give the students vital hands on experience and also trying more abstract concepts.
