Learning Tip: The Rubber Ducky Method A great way to learn something is to explain what you are trying to learn to an object. A rubber ducky, for example, is a really good listener. Explain what you are learning to the ducky or whatever object you choose. This can help you understand difficult and complex ideas. The rubber ducky technique is so effective that it is used by computer programmers. Line by line, they explain to the rubber duck what their code is supposed to be doing.
