#LiDA101 Citation Management Tool

August 25th #LiDA- Citation Management Tool

I could not start the program on my laptop because api-ms-crt-runtime-[1-1-0.dll is missing  (This is the message I got!)

Yesterday I managed to download Mendeley on my husband's laptop.  The process of downloading proved to be tedious. But once done, Mendeley proved to be a really versatile tool. Wish I had known about it years ago.
I searched for relevant studies in my field; also learned to juggle between various citation styles. I also followed a few groups and found many of them private, by invitation only. I also have decided to use this to interact with peers in the future.

Lecture: 2017 Personality 06: Jean Piaget & Constructivism

Dr. Jordan Peterson's lecture on Piaget and Constructivism was truly excellent. Piaget has been one of my favourite psychologists. Dr. Peterson brought outmany interesting facets of Jean Piaget's personality.   My work in science education has focused on Constructivism. Two lovely quotes from Dr. Peterson's thoughts on constructivism were so relevant, especially for me trying to be digitally literate :
".....benefit from the possibilities without being overwhelmed" and
"kill something you already know to learn something new".
