What do you learn about on daily basis?
Here's a sampling of my list:
- Cell phones
- Tea
- Fantasy baseball
- Education
- Web tools
- Apple computers
- Nike Basketball shoes circa 1995-2002
- Settlers of Catan
- iPhone apps
What's your list? I'm always looking for new stuff to learn. What should I come to you for?
Update: My first thought when I read Alison's comment was "How do you learn this stuff?" So, if you take the time to answer -- and thank you to those who do -- how do you learn?
Here's me:

Here's me:
- I surround myself with ridiculously smart people with varied ideas and viewpoints. People that are smart enough to be continually learning. I surround myself with pushers and movers and shakers.
- I model myself after those folks around which I'm surrounded. I've been trying to push more lately. I'm trying to move and shake my way to the big people table.
- I use the tools that make it easiest for me to access learning. I subscribe to way too many blogs and podcasts. I go through 500ish items in Google Reader every day. (I know for some of you that's nothing...I'm looking at you, Richard.) I work to continually add learners to my Twitter network. If I find myself on a blog I've never visited before, I see if that person is on Twitter. If I find myself in a great face-to-face conversation, I ask (at the right time) if that person is on Twitter. Roll your eyes, whatever. Twitter is amazing. It's my smart blanket.
- I write this blog. I know I'm not super consistent, but knowing this space is here keeps me continually thinking of what I should fill this space with. I reflect and chew on all the information and ideas that are passing through me.
- I model for my students. I say "learning" all the time in my classroom. I try to fill their brain holes up with that word.
- Repeat.
