Fun. I saw the 'six word novel' post on Dave Pollard's site recently and added my own effort. This recasting is of 'six word learning plans', which already incorporates too much pedagogy for my tastes in the title. Still. It was interesting to note the various educators' efforts, which (not surprisingly) devolved into lists of verbs. Which sort of reminds me of my own five word, "Aggregate, remix, repurpose, feed forward." Or I suppose I could contribute "Teach: Model, demonstrate. Learn: practice, reflect." But I'd rather capture the idea. Like this: "Sense the patterns in your environment." Still, that's not quite right. How about: "Become like the teacher, only better."
