3 strategies to maintain technical competence:\n1.  Read industry magazines, go to industry conferences, read the newspaper in your town that tells about startup businesses.  \n2.  Work directly with new products, get involved in beta testing.  Always use the new stuff yourself.  bE an early adopter\n3.  Scan the world for new things and ideas you don't know about then research them.  Ask people you know constantly about their experience and response to new technologies

Technology includes the computer you're using, the vehicle you drive in, the oven you cook your food in, and so on.  How do these things help you?  Can you think of others?

Distant Learning... Via online.. Or just find buy some good books from Cambridge or Oxford and learned... But, you need a supervision from a teacher also, so, distant learning is the proper way.

I've never used any of it.  I went through my college bit by bit and took coursed just because the opportunities came up.  I can honestly say I learned more by doing things than sitting in a classroom and it's just a certificate now.  I own my own businesses and even though my degree is in business it would only help if I worked for me.  I guess I use some of the accounting, but then again I learned Quick books for that.  I had fun though.

You have to find ways to involve them in educating themselves.  A lot of information transfers from teacher -> student through note taking, memorization, overhead slides, etc.  You need to find ways to get the students to discover the information for themselves by leading and guiding them through interactive activities.  Pair work, group work, discussions, investigations, debates, etc can all make learning more dynamic.  I also suggest getting feedback from the students about what kind of work they want to do.  Sometimes it's necessary to write an essay, and essay-writing is an important skill, but sometimes information can be presented in a poster or skit too!

As a teacher, I could offer a few tips:\n\n1. Ask your teacher for extra help after school. He or she should be willing to make sure you understand the subject; plus it shows the instructor that you truly care. In addition, see if you can get a classmate to tutor you in any subject you might have difficulty in.\n\n2. Conduct group studies. You'd be surprised to discover how much you can learn studying with friends -- if you remain on topic. Creating a study group the night or two before a big exam could really help you prepare.\n\n3. Eliminate distractions during your study time. Turn you cell phone on vibrate. Turn off the television. Don't pay attention to your AIM. Give your text/notebook/worksheet your undivided attention.\n\nThese are just a few that should help your study habits.

Take notes in your own words as you study.  It will help you keep track of what you are studying and also provide a way to review it later.  By using your own words you constantly have a check on whether you are understanding it and also it helps to integrate it into your own knowledge system which is unique to you.

Wow!..Law!!..you need to remember lots of things then..I'm a student myself...but, I believed that if you are really interested with what you are doing, it's easier to understand what you are learning, thus leading to easier to recall it. But, to really test yourself if you really want to have a good memory, you must always test your brain, think!, think!, think!. Our brain are much more better at storing info when compared to computers.\nTry this: Every time you red something, understands it, and try to write it all over again, without looking at the book again...Understand is important, this will help you remember better. I've also been practicing eating beans, make it like once a week, heard that they help improving our memory.

The most effective way for me to study is to use flash cards.  I think this is because in addition to "flashing" them to study I have written down the question and the answer.

It really depends on you as an individual and your lifestyle.\n\nONLINE COURSES on the plus side\ni. enables you to do your course at your own pace and time (though you would have to hand in assignments on their due dates)\nii. you save on time, energy, money and fuel by not having to commute to lectures or spend time between lectures.\niii. you can earn while you learn (assuming that you don't feel too pressured by you load of work) as you don't have to be in campus everyday.\n\nHowever, the NEGATIVES of are\ni. you do not get support of you peers (as in the case of study groups/on-campus peer tutors).\nii. you may not be able to contact your tutor/teacher whenever you meet a stumbling block in your learning.\niii. the courses are usually set for visual learners.\niv. if you have a practical aspect of the course (e.g. drama) you miss out on that participation.\nv. you also miss out on the social aspect of campus life (e.g. friendships, social clubs and gatherings, on campus events etc).\nvi. you need to be highly motivated to do your course as you could run the risk of leaving your work till too late as you are doing it in your own time and at your own pace.\nvii. you need to have constant and easy access to a computer.\nviii. your eyesight will be adversely affected by sitting for long periods in front of the computer.\n\nWhen you look at ON CAMPUS courses, the flipside just outlined to you becomes the upside, and the pros, the cons.

OK honey here are a tips from a former Uni. student - I did Computer Science from Univ. of Massachussets, Boston.\n\n1. Take your own NOTES for GOD's sake - tutors may be irritable at University but when they teach - they do sell their expertise to you. It's always helpful to pen down all ideas discussed icluding in classroom discussions into your keypad if you use laptop or a scratch paper. Keep studying your scratch papers often - I used to learn almost 50% of basic concepts using scratch papers. I wasn't a book lover, and would always prefer to look a thing in a book only if it was the last resort - never the other way around. Keep your scratch papers neat and clean and a bit organized.\n\nIf you make sure you attend all your classrooms and have enough scratch papers, take off once in a fortnight and arrange them together and study them briefly once - and that is systematic preparation. \n\n2. Always learn practical applications of your study: It's useful to take part in as many classroom discussions as possible - seminars, they help cultivate your knowledge into the practical, real domain of life. I would suggest you do it with an amazing commitment. The more real life examples you learn through these experiences, they will make you feel more confident in the evntuality of an interview and really reflect your overall personality. Pure academics is boring- nobody loves studious kids. When I was in college, I used to take part in technical seminars and case studies - often at expense of my core studies - this "take it easy" attitude gives you amazing confidence. I was working with Hewlett Packard and quit the job to start my own consultancy - and Yahoo Answers keeps my "astray" nature alive - I am glad to answer questions for guys like you.\n\n3. Always make good use of friends: I had too many friends who were rock stars, hippies and heretics of all kinds. Well, to be honest I lost quite a many valuable hours in study because of peer pressure. But the same friends I was able to utilize in my course of interactions that led me to Volunteer as leader for them whenever we made group study efforts during the examination. Friends would make you or unmake you - depends on how you are able to prolong yourself.\n\n4. Enjoy all activities: If you are a ballety dancer, well don't miss out the fun that comes with taking part in an opportunity that comes your way. Always make sure, education should complement your existing talents - and not override them - if you need a personality to face an interview. Extracurricular activities are a must.\n\n5. Plan well for your exams - always make sure you know the fact not "everything" can be studied. Only a smart person knows which topics to omit in a day of study - try to develop judgement skills - the better you are - the more you will shine eventually. It's about good judgement even in your exams. A clever mind which can judge complex questions is better prepared to answer them than an insecure mind that wouldn't bother much.\n\nRegards

Just learn how to play by yourself.  Programs suck for learning.  Just learn a bunch of songs by your favorite bands.  TAB sites are good for that.  Hendrix, Dylan, Page, Cobain, and Frusciante all did that and they are G R E A T
