We learn when neurons in our brain make strong connections. In this presentation, I discuss three pedagogical methods that help facilitate those conventions. Short take away: don’t lecture.

-Just a few reminders to end as you decide to work some of this into your classes:\n-Watch for overload. In DH, we have to be aware of the layer of technology, knowing that if we have students learning tools and content at the same time, one or the other may suffer without well-planned activities and classes.\n-As we mentioned, metacognition and results of many studies show that developing strategy is better than learning content for future work in a discipline. \n-We also know, maybe more than others, content is web-based. Why memorize when we can search?\n-A focus on strategy, plus a refuguring of the classroom as a lab, workshop, or studio, means that teachers aren’t the expert or the center - they are guides, consultants, leaders.\n
