Teaching and Volunteering
Yesterday, I had lunch at one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Baton Rouge, King Buffet (http://www.kingbuffet.biz). At the end of a lunch consisting primarily of sushi rolls, fried shrimp, shrimp & broccoli and shanghai shrimp, I had the traditional fortune cookie.
My fortune was not a “fortune” per se, but it was a shrewd saying “We learn most when we are teaching.”
That simple stated fact is a major reason why I like to teach workshops and lead special interest groups at the Cajun Clickers Computer Club.
While I can (and do) attend other workshops and SIG meetings, I find that I learn more when I am teaching. This happens in three ways.
