“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” *
2Tim 3:16-17
*Actual lengths of passages may vary.
You can often say a lot in just a few words. For other things more context, detail and explanation is required.
This post is to introduce the concept of microlearning and nanolearning – being able to teach/learn one simple thing or one discrete set of knowledge quickly and efficiently.
Microlearning might be anything that can be meaningfully covered in a 5-10 minute video or a picture and a couple of hundred words.
Nanolearning is the same but quicker.
How long was that? Did it help?
How can you use the concept in your ministry?
Traditional proverbs might be seen as an ancient form of nanolearning. They can stick in the mind instantly but take years to unpack and comprehend. I’m happy to see that Jay Matenga regularly uses Maori proverbs in his blogs for the WEA Mission Commission, like this one from June 7th: “Let’s talk about leading. This month our whakataukī (proverb) is: “Haere taka mua, taka muri; kaua e whai.” [Go in front, not behind; don’t follow]. https://jaymatenga.com/upfront/
Peter,
Serious paradox; and question.
Would you be willing to do an hour long EMDC Session on this topic ??
Thus defeating the concept/purpose — yet helping us to better understand and explore it together ??
Okay, my nano moment has gone beyond a minute, and is gone. 🙁
But the concept is staying with me. THNX !! Yes, Helpful. 🙂
