The Second Best Way to Learn

As you can tell from the chart above, the worst way to learn is by reading
and the second worst way is by hearing a lecture . . . the most popular ways

to teach in traditional schools. At the top of the cone is doing the real thing.
When I told the MBA students to just go out and do it, many froze.
Obviously there is a gap between reading, lecture, and surviving in the real
world.

The Arizona State University study pointed out that just below real life
is simulations or games. The study confirmed the Cone of Learning and that
our game was the second best way to learn about the left-brained logic
combined with the right-brained creativity of money management,

accounting, and investing. Instead of being subconsciously fearful, learning
was fun and motivating. Students felt more self-confidence, more
empowered, eager to learn more, and better able to use what they had
learned.
