Hyper-Learning: Becoming an Explorer

Do you remember when you learned to ride a bicycle? Think back to that time.
How did you feel? Scared? Excited? Both?
What did you do?

My guess is someone held the bike and helped you get on it or the bicycle had training wheels and you got on by yourself.

My guess is you started trying to make it move. And my guess is you fell off the bicycle many times. (I fell off more than once.)

Then what did you do?

I venture to guess that it took courage, iterative learning (trying to ride, falling off, learning from your fall) and resilience—getting up and trying to ride the bicycle again, considering what you learned.

Young children’s days are filled with exploration and discovery, experimenting with the unknown, and learning through trial and error.

That is what we adults will need to do in the Digital Age! We will need to recapture the imagination, curiosity and courage that we had as a young child. Sound like fun?
