Proof that if you want to remember something, writing it down helps.

Note taking is an effective learning tool. Who would have thought all those people writing journals for thousands of years was a good thing?

I have been saying this for years! Yet there is still the push for students to use technology!!

Was at a work training event this week, and the presenter handed out copies of slides, “So (we) could listen and not waste time taking notes.” I listened and took notes anyway.

I had a struggling student that had trouble recalling letters and sounds. We worked on a few letters for months 1 on 1 with poor results. Then I found tactical cards with a bumpy texture. After a few weeks they recalled the entire alphabet! Kinesthetic learning is important 🤗

Mm-hm. What age/s was this study performed upon? What size was the testing pool? Demographics? That makes a difference.

Absolutely agree with this BUT that doesn’t mean that technology has no place in the classroom. Educatos need to take a blended approach that meats the needs of students and prepares them for the future.

And cheap as well

It's for me

That’s what I keep telling these kids! Write it down.

I either write or type and both help me retain and recall the information perfectly. I make sure my learners make note of important instructions in their journal. It’s helps recall and they can always go back to the journal for reference.
