Certainly it is allowed. I'm also hoping we'll hear from more people with different ideas.
Since I'm on a roll with these new 'studies' I was talking about <grin>, there is a trend now to say that it isn't that the student is an audio-visual or whatever learning so much as the TASK itself requires a certain type of approach. For example, it doesn't matter how many books you read or videos you watch about riding a bicycle, it requires the hands-on approach.
Has nothing to do with what we're talking about really, but I thought it was fascinating. It makes sense.
I also have to admit that I am kind of a fan of YouTube. When I do any installation or repair, I YouTube it. That works for me, especially when instructions are inadequate.
NOTE: If you try YouTubing Coding, though, keep in mind that much of what is there is obsolete, because coding constantly changes. That probably still wouldn't keep me from doing it though and adjusting for it.
We need a like button. :) I like youtube they used to say Google is your friend but in this case we could say Youtube is.
Lynette, I would like the WHO website, please.
I am unsure about what kind of learner I am, but medical anything is new to me. I enjoyed Module 1 (after about the 3rd section - until then I was kind of stepping onto the ledge). I love, love, love the Turley book. And then, in Module 2, you hit the Kuehn book. I am at that point where I want to bang my head on the wall (not quite to the window yet). I have to say the instructors are so helpful and positive, it motivates me to keep moving forward. If you are feeling that urge to jump, email Glenda your questions.
Check these blogs and usually, your answer will be there! If not, ask the questions - there are lots of really smart and helpful people reading these blogs and they are not shy.
Also, if you will go to the Facebook page [Jobs for American Coders], it is very motivating.
I just happen to be in that place right now. We can do this!
Hey Lynette ... I'd like the WHO app also ... I like stuff like that.
I'm a month into Module 1 and loving it. I hit the wall for a while on the Circulatory Section. There is just soooo much information packed into it that it got kinda overwhelming. But then I remembered....I don't have to memorize all this stuff....I just need to know where to find it. Kind of a different learning philosophy than most of us grew up with, but I'm adjusting and really appreciating the no-memorization zone! I am a learn by doing learner mostly.
The instructors are very helpful ... be sure to ask about anything you don't completely understand and they will help get you through it. And yes, these forums are very helpful. There is a search function that lets you find previously posted material on a subject (you might have to adjust your search parameters) plus it's a great place to ask questions or just vent.
We all got this!!
