Humans are hardwired to forget. But research shows that strategies like peer-to-peer explanations, regular review, and interleaving can boost retention.
@addisonstew This is such a great organizer! I'm a visual learner too, so I think this strategy would be highly effective in the classroom. Do you plan on using it this semester for one of your lessons?
@AllisonRoss61 I've seen a couple coding apps on my students iPads, but I havent seen them use it yet. My teacher says good things about it though. How do you plan on using these apps in your future class?
@chelsey_garland Critical literacy is important. I believe it is good, culturally responsive teaching! What books have you enjoyed reading during your read-alouds?
@emjacobs8 It's exciting to hear that you are seeing critical literacy being used in your classroom! That sounds like a good topic for a research project. Are you guys planning on doing something involving community clean-up?
@MaggieErin23 I connected this with the teachers I had who used textbooks exclusively and it definitely caused me to be unengaged in a subject I would otherwise love. What are some resources you would use to compliment text books?
