How We Learn

Image
Fascinating review of How We Learn  by leading New York Times Health and Scientist columnist Benedict Carey. Just like the  Make It Stick  (being applied by Wash U EM right now), this book will hopefully become a game changer for students and teachers across disciplines. Throw out what your highlighters and what you thought you new about learning. Welcome to frequent breaks, percolation, interleaving, mixing skills and environments, overcoming the fluency illusion, and sleep. Citing decades of research, the book provides an evidence based review of how we can make learning fun again. Perfect way to rejuvenate your curricula for next year.
