Document Summary
During week 6 we discussed three big ideas about memory and five implications for learning environments that support memory and retention (slides 9-23 of the 2nd lecture). Choose one of the points about memory and a related instructional implication. First describe them making sure to link the idea about memory with the implication. Second, develop an example that would take up and illustrate the implication. Give us the example and then explain how/why it shows the implication you chose and how it supports the big idea about memory. Implication: grab and hold attention: caution against superficial engagement and real intellectual engagement, boring --> unengaged --> inattentive. Interest; variety; enthusiasm; capitalizing on innate desire to make sense of the world: the idea about memory i chose to discuss is attention and engagement. This is about what people are able to encode. People encode information to their working memory by attending or paying attention to it.
