BRAIN FRIENLY LEARNING THAT WORKS
Presentation by Pooja Agarwal
“Retrieval practice” is a learning strategy where we focus on getting information out. Through the act of retrieval, or calling information to mind, our memory for that information is strengthened and forgetting is less likely to occur. Retrieval practice is a powerful tool for improving learning without more technology, money, or class time.
An interesting approach that can help teachers and learners: I will have to search online and check how it works.
