This week, we have two discussion questions. Please participate in both threads.
Discussion Question 1: Which Memory Principles do you often apply to remember and retain information? Which memory principles do you think are most important in promoting consolidation?
Discussion Question 2: Read the article, “.blackboard.com/bbcswebdav/pid-1191814-dt-content-rid-11326479_1/xid-11326479_1″>Squeeze a bit more from this sponge.” In relation to this article, think about how you learn: What is one thing you understand really well? How did you come to understand it? How do you know you understand it? After answering these question, in what ways do you think instructors can help foster learning in the classroom?

Discussion Question 1: VAK
Please discuss your learning styles here, based on the VAK Questionnaire results. Also, use this space to discuss your thoughts and reflections on the outcomes of your learning style assessment. When commenting, try to base your comments on the VAK paradigm (i.e. “Since visual learners achieve better results by viewing information, it might be helpful to make a graph…”).
I look forward to seeing what kind of learners you all are!!
Discussion Question 2: MI
Traditionally, people have defined someone who is intelligent as an individual who can solve problems, use logic to answer questions, and think critically. But psychologist Howard Gardner has a much broader definition of intelligence. Compare the traditional idea about intelligence with Gardners. How have his ideas changed the way we assess the strengths and weaknesses of people? How does an understanding of multiple intelligences change how you view your own abilities?
