Study Efficiently

I spend so much time
memorizing and don't have
time to understand.

I memorize 10 facts in
about 3 minutes. So there's
ample time for concepts.

I'm bored and 
have trouble following 
in class.

I spend a few minutes 
getting the terms down and 
following becomes easy.

My friends and I 
want to help each 
other study.

I share pages I create 
with friends, and they 
share theirs with me.

It takes a long 
time for me to create 
study material.

Wizards help me 
create interactive pages 
in no time at all.

No Textbooks in the future

GREAT EDUCATION BLOG

Look at the article on why textbooks are bad.  I've known this for years and kept far away from them.  Only on desperate days when I run out of ideas do I pick them up.

They are heavy, expensive and  do not provide the tools this generation will need to survive.

But then why do most teachers and many parents love them??????

 

 

Oh My God,  I can forget about that job in Macmillan for next year!!!!!!!!
