Passions and Thresholds
Nora has an elegant post bringing together some observations from the studio, ideas about how she wants to learn, the the idea of a ‘passion point’. In educational theory there is an idea of a ‘threshold concept’. This is something that transforms your understanding and is something you never unlearn (forget). Passion points might turn out to be useful in relation to threshold concepts.
