Lindy applies mainly to ideas, technology, and non-perishable things.
Ana Fabrega summarizes Lindy: “The longer ideas have been around, the longer they’re likely to last.”
For example, Christianity has been around for 2 thousand years, so it’s expected that Christianity will last for another 2 thousand years.
Ana Fabrega points out two Lindy learning examples that resonated with me:
1. Learning through action.
Learning through tinkering and experimentation is Lindy.
This has been one of my biggest reasons for cutting lectures from our cohorts and focusing on action (through writing).
2. The teacher as facilitator.
Ana Fabrega describes the teacher facilitator as a guide that helps students “arrive at their own understanding.”
This is a Lindy form of teaching.
Writing is powerful way for people to arrive at their own understanding. I’ve learned that helping people to write is a great way to facilitate learning.
