Michael Jackson and Learning


10 educational ideas from This Is It:

1. Learning is an event

2. To know is to move

3. Rehearsals are non-negotiable and it's okay to act weird whilst practising

4. Love is part of the deal

5. Teacher (or in MJ's case, the director) isn't always right

6. Sometimes you need to feel the answer

7. Everybody sees what you're doing - if not now then sometime eventually.

8. Don't miss the trees for the forest, every little bit counts

9. There is no 'old' or 'new' subject; if something is good it's worth learning no matter how long it's been around

10. Live and love the NOW, and remember for every class, THIS IS IT.

  1. Sorry for fishing for comments like this, but I didn't know how else to contact you.

    I'm a follower of your writing on postmodern theory and theology, and was hoping to show you something I've been working on. I read your post on prayer and felt there was some similarities in our ideas:
