Brain Hacking 403: Recall - Making Learning Last
By Oskar Cymerman | @focus2achieve | BAm! Radio Network EdWords Blogger
The strategy I am presenting you with today is a game changer. It has the potential to make experts out of learners and it makes learning last.
You might already know the learning strategy I am talking about, because it's been around the block. I have not invented it. I knew it before, but it was not until I took a Coursera MOOC "Learning How To Learn" By Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski that I understood its true power.
So... Ask yourself: Do my students know it? And, do they know how to use it? And, do they use RECALL consistently when studying?
I believe most students mainly re-read information when they study. However, even if your answer to the 3 questions above was a "yes," you will find a few nice Recall Hacks in the Infographic below that can help you be a more effective instructor and your students learn more effectively. And, isn't that what this whole education shindig is all about?
