Information Processing“how the mind functions”

Working memory or consciousness, information moves to long term memory through active learning

Call memory, networked ideas, things we know how to do

The input of information

Metacognition“thinking about thinking”

Typically discussed as 3 learning strategies• 1.Metacognitive-planning, thinking about

learning as its taking place• 2.Cognitive Strategies-task specific, note

taking, repetition, mnemonic devices• 3.Socioaffective-association or input from

teachers or peers—can lead to autonomy

Why AddVIDEO

How Do I Choose?

• Use video if it supports the original learning goals. The learning goal should be defined and then videos chosen to support them.

Multiple Intelligences and Using Visual Ways to Enhance Learning

Why Use Visual Ways to Enhance Learning?Research suggests that people learn abstract, new, and novel concepts more easily when they are presented in both verbal and visual form (Salomon, 1979). Other empirical research shows that visual media make concepts more accessible to a person than text media and help with later recall (Cowen, 1984). In Willingham's (2009) research he asks a simple question to make his point, "Why do students remember everything that's on television and forget what we lecture?" -- because visual media helps students retain concepts and ideas. Bransford, Browning, and Cocking (1999, p 194) also note the crucial role that technology plays for creating learning environments that extend the possibilities of one-way communication media, such as movies, documentaries, television shows and music into new areas that require interactive learning like visualizations and student-created content.

Learning is a unique and personal journey thateach of us experiences in our own way.

It is important to recognize, understand and allow learners to find and experience the style and tools which work best for them.
