Geological learning is often about someone passing you a hand-lens and rock sample and telling you about the wonderful things you can see. None of us are \u00a0starting from scratch; we all have access to a tremendous body of knowledge that enriches our understanding and enjoyment of Geology. <strong>So how did you get access to that knowledge?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The theme for this month is to tell us about your <strong>&#8216;most important teacher&#8217;. <\/strong>For those of us with a formal training an obvious route is to write about a person who taught us, talking about them and what we learnt from them. This is the route I shall be following, but \u00a0 my purpose here is not to constrain but to <em>inspire<\/em> you. We don&#8217;t just learn from people face-to-face. Or from people: sometimes it seems that rocks can speak. They can certainly teach us things.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your circumstances, if you&#8217;re still reading this post you are someone who loves Geology and loves to write about it. You know more now than you did when you started out. <strong>Tell us about that journey and the most important thing or person that helped you on your way.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Send in your links in comments below, or via Twitter.
