The fun begins...

Let the games begin!
My proposal was approved on 11/7/07.
I was assigned my facult advisor on 11/15/07.
I have plans to write sections between 12/1/07 and 2/1/08, giving myself various deadlines.

Here is what I am up to the next 2-3 months:

I will investigate how the teaching methods of the ancients (Socrates and Plato) have influenced the teaching methods of adults in the 21st century.

I will also explore which methods are still effective in the adult classroom today.
My thesis research study will investigate adult learning theories.

After explaining a few foundational theories in adult education, I will address what teaching methods were used by the Ancient Greeks such as Socrates and Plato.

As a foundation to the ancients, I will also include some information on the pre-Socratics and the poets of the oral tradition.

I will then discuss which of these methods are still alive and well, 2,500 years later in our contemporary day of technology.

If I am not doing these items, then I am not focusing. As my buddy John H. says, "Stay focused on the end game."
Stay tuned!
