Happy Holidays!
Dear loyal readers,
We are on vacation! The next blog post will be out on January 3rd 2017. In the meantime, here are a few updates and our most popular posts from 2016.
- We recently collaborated with Memorize Academy to create a video teaching students how to study using all 6 strategies for effective learning. If you haven’t seen it already, please watch it, but also give it a “thumbs up” on YouTube and even a comment. This will push it further up the list in the rankings when people search “how to study”. Wouldn’t it be great if the top hit for that search term was a video full of evidence-based strategies?
We are still trying to hit our donation target of $1,000 to translate our learning strategy posters into another language. Click here for more information.
Did you know? We now have a set of 6 external education experts who are on hand to answer your questions!
And here’s some reading for your vacation – our top posts from 2016!
