Knowledge, Learning, Community

As I read through this post it seems to me to be saying that the main rule here is 'use it or lose it'. Viewed from that perspective, this post can be read as describing various ways to 'use it' (for example, 'students teach students' and 'active application'. And there's also some attention paid to what we mean by 'it' - if there's too much 'it' (i.e., 'cognitive overload') then we never really get the change to use it. And then, at a meta-level, there are factors that would make students comfortable and willing to 'use it' - for example, 'tap into feelings' and 'embrace mistakes'. It's all the same sort of advice I see in posts on language learning. It all sounds so easy when we read it here - but we know it's not.
