Like, duh! OR rather, like YAY! This is super!

Wills Stott's curator insight, May 10, 2019 5:48 AM
As a English and History pre-service teacher I really encourage the reading of books and for students to search and guide their own learning experiences. However, as this unit is focusing on the digital literacy aspect of learning, reading online and through electronic devices can be as effective as a physical copy. Many of takeaways from the article, such as lower stress and increased vocabulary, is transferable between mediums and can have a seminal impact on the development of digital skills and literacy skills.

If you want to be like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, adopt their voracious reading habits

If you want to be like Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, adopt their voracious reading habits | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it

Want to know one habit ultra-successful people have in common?

They read. A lot.

 

In fact, when Warren Buffett was once asked about the key to success, he pointed to a stack of nearby books and said, “Read 500 pages like this every day. That’s how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it.”

 

Buffett takes this habit to the extreme — he read between 600 and 1000 pages per day when he was beginning his investing career, and still devotes about 80% of each day to reading.

 

And he’s not alone. Here are just a few top business leaders and entrepreneurs who make reading a major part of their daily lifestyle

Strategies for showing simple steps for researching.

Eric Coreas's curator insight, April 4, 2016 12:29 AM
This is actually a power point on strategies for reading and writing articles from Scholarly Journals. The writer is actually a high school student and lists steps on how to do this. She writes mainly the basics on how to do this. The information she gives is pretty accurate as well. Nonetheless this writer did a god job in listing these steps because they can come in handy for people who struggle with things like this. The writer’s audience would be anyone who struggles reading and writing these articles and would like to learn the basics. The writer’s main point is to teach the reader these strategies that way they can use them when dealing with this. I think even if the this is written by a high school student it comes from a credible source because this power point has over 10,000 views. The student did a nice job in presenting these strategies.
