'Learning Learning'

In this corner of the OLPC Wiki I want to discuss all the big ideas about Learning. But I am happiest as a concrete thinker and so instead of playing the academic poohbah, each week I’ll offer a story or a parable accompanied by a sample of three kinds of comment on the OLPC idea: "bites" are meant to hurt us (but so far none are fatal); "licks" are meant to praise us but do so for poor reasons and "insights" are ones that get it.
