Teaching Strategies to Help Students Retain Information | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it
As teachers, we are always looking for fresh teaching strategies that allow our students to retain and process the information that we teach them. Sometimes we tell our students to reread something in hopes that it will help them remember it better. Other times we encourage them to practice, practice, practice because we have all heard the saying “Practice makes perfect.” But we all know that in reality, some things just go in one ear and out the other. In fact, research has shown that if we don’t do anything with the new information that we learn within one hour of learning it, we will have forgotten about 50 percent of it.
