In 1969 Edgare Dale in his book Audio-Visual Methonds In Teaching talked about the “cone of learning.” To quickly sum it all up, it has been discovered that the more involved we are in our education, the more we learn and remember. We recall roughly 10% of what we read, 20% of what we hear, and only 30% of what we see, but combine all three of those elements and we reach the 50% level. Active learning, which increases our recall (70%), really begins to take off when we participate in a discussion *study group*, or teach, and maxes out around 90% when we are involved in a dramatic presentation, or do the real thing.
I am currently studying Metaphysics and in order to ensure I fully understand what it is I am learning, it is my intention to summarize each lesson here on my blog during my course of study over the next year. I will continue to write my gratitude posts, but these lessons I am learning, will be posted as a “sticky” post at the top of the blog until replaced by a new lesson.
I hope I am able to convey properly the information I am taking in, while sharing it with you, and giving you some insight into the journey I am on.
As always I am grateful for each and every reader of my blog and the wonderful comments I receive.
Sincerely,
Cary

Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk. ~Susan Scarf Merrell
My sister Michele has been one of my closest friends as long as I can remember. Over the years we have had a few falling outs, but for the most part I know I can count on her to be there to support me no matter what I got myself into.Over the past few months while I have worked on improving my own life, she has made a lot of improvements in her own. She has lost weight, taken responsibility of her own life and happiness which helps her to be a good example for her children. I am proud of her, and I am grateful to have her in my life, and pray that she receives the abundance in health, wealth, and spirit she so richly deserve.
I love you dearly. Thank you for being my big sister.

According to some people, I spend way too much time blogging. They contacted Walter White telling him that I am a slacker, Walter even discussed this on his blog, then recorded a special message just for me:
They can’t stop me, I’ll blog day in and day out, until there is no breath left in this body!
