What I wanted to say is that the learning cone doesnt take into account the subject of the learning in question (what is being learnt, it addresses only how is being learnt). For example, we all remember just reading about pr0n and hearing about pr0n and we all remembered 100% of what we read and hear since the first time.

Initially, the cone made me feel somewhat cynical because our classes focus heavily on the least efficient ways of learning. However, I have definitely had some personal experience learning in all the ways described in my classes. The most awesome thing any of my professors have done to teach something will is to illustrate it with a really good picture. And the things I've learned best are definitely the things I've had to help other people figure out. Given my experience, I think the learning cone pretty accurately ranks the ways in which I learn and I really appreciate the reminder to intentionally seek out the best learning methods.

Remember back to your high school english classes when you heard, "Tell em what you're going to tell 'em, 'tell em', 'tell em' what you 'told em'? Nice words, but not so helpful in real life. You're so right when you make the points about how learning occurs and different ways to learn. If you're taking a written test for example, it's better to make lots of visual pictures of what you studied, so you can remember much faster. Our brain recalls pictures many times faster than words. Matching how you learn, with how you're tested on anything, results in more learning success. On HowToLearn.com, you'll find 52 instant learning tips for just about any subject. Enjoy and from one learning expert to another, thank you again for enlightening our minds! You're doing great work. As I always say, "Learning is not about being smart, it's about strategy."
