If you are going to teach, you need to keep in mind that not everyone learns the same way. Our traditional school can be faulted for this because they teach large groups exactly the same way. We take in the world with our senses. There are multiple styles of learning, but there are a few basic ways:
Visual - These students learn best by seeing it done.
Tactile - These students learn best by doing it themselves.
Auditory - These students learn best by hearing it explained. They would learn best from an audiobook instead of a text.
Some people can be more than 1 style at a time, but there is usually a dominant one.
Sleep is a major component of learning. Short term memory is converted to long term memory during adequate sleep. If you get poor sleep, the information is mostly or completely lost.
Don’t save a survival video, for example. When you need it, you won’t have it. Learn it now beforehand.
