Tom,

Very succinctly stated: consider me one of the seagulls who is learning to fly... assuming you have perused Richard Bach's novel Jonathan Livingston Seagull. [I had shared another post about it today morning.] Consider most of us on this forum like many other seagulls who are learning to fly... each participant on this forum is contributing to the 'flow.'

On a more subjective basis, my view of looking at things... is to ask: How would I go about doing this assuming that there's no pre-defined 'best practice' for doing it? [Or how to decide if there is multiplicity of 'best practices' for doing something?] And I sincerely believe that knowledge lies in action. We may read [or listen] and we will forget, we may think and we will assimilate, but we have to 'live it' (first hand or second hand, i.e., vicariously) to sense it... to know it. Or, if you may, I am attempting to make sense of the 'flow' based on past and ongoing 'experiences.' By 'experiences,' I mean active learning processes in which one is immersed: these desirably involve affect, cognition, action, as well as metacognition. Some such 'experiences' are summarized in the form of theories-for-action on the web page titled The Gold Mine of Knowledge. One of the 'nuggets' from this 'mine' perhaps relates to your query and it, among others, may be influencing my role as the host of this forum:

"Learning is finding out what you already know.
Doing is demonstrating that you know it.
Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you.
You are all learners, doers, teachers..."

-- Richard Bach (1977), Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
