202109061250 See, do, teach

An 202109061304 Experiential model of learning common to medical schools that emphasizes three actions we can take to gain deep knowledge about anything (202109060835 Knowledge is constructed).¹

The three eponymous phases emphasize gaining information, internalizing information and turning it into knowledge, and externalizing your knowledge for others through acts of expression that further reinforce your own understanding.

An interesting connection to this model is 202107272242 The Art of using a Zettelkasten. A Zettelkasten gives us the opportunity to "do and teach" after "seeing". We read a book and then internalize the information, processing it into atomic Zettel. The act of writing the Zettel for an audience other than ourselves — even if that's just our future selves — is an act of teaching. writing is important

There are limits to its ability to approximate the full experiential model however. For example, I'll never become a surgeon just by reading and writing about it.
