Over the past 6 weeks, we have looked at a lot of ways to enhance the ability of our students to gain and retain new information. In many ways, I was re-introduced to ideas that I have been exposed to prior to this class. The main difference is that with this class, I was able to understand how to apply many of these technologies for our students. In past workshops and graduate level classes, I have been told to use advanced organizers to enhance learning. However, without being able to understand how to use them, I was where I started. But, thanks to my classmates and professor, now I have been able to start using some of these organizers to help my students put their thoughts about new topics in order to be able to better understand these topics. I am eagerly anticipating using the Cornell Note Taking Method for my students to learn more while we have a guest speaker who is going to be presenting his rock and mineral collection to the class. I am hoping that using this note taking technique will add to my students overall knowledge base.
I'll sign off for this class using one of my literary hero's Douglas Adams, "So long and thanks for all the fish."
