Imagine trying to learn to draw from listening to a lecture. You must draw, draw, draw, and with time and tutoring, will improve. This is a truism, just like saying "reading is valuable." I imagine nobody complains about children spending too much time working. If anything the contrary complaint rings loudly.

ELT Methodology (FLGR.01.041) 27.12.2012 Home Assignments. I Youtube clips: · A vision of K-12 students I personally think that Estonian learners are also digital learners.

learned along theway,butit’sstill the same book, with the same purpose:It’sstill a book about designing great, usableWebsites. And it’s also still a book about designing anything that people need to interact with, whether it’s a microwave oven, a mobile app, or an ATM. The basic principles are the same even if the landscape has changed, because usability is about people and how they understand and use things, not abouttechnology.And while technology often changesquickly,people change veryslowly.3 3 There’sawonderfulNorwegianvideo(withsubtitles)aboutthisthatshowsamonkgettinghelpashestrugglestousethe newfangled“book.”(Searchfor“medievalhelpdesk”onYouTube.)
