Your brain remembers what it had to work for.
Blurting turns studying into a memory test: write everything you know on a blank page, then review only the gaps you find.

Meet Chiron! 👋
I've been building an app with mini games that turn your content into retrieval practice: quick, a little silly, and they actually make kids think. See the pics to see how it works and how you can help.
DM me if you want in!

Planning for Forgetting: The CPD Schools Never Run!
Why should we teach students how to forget information? Teachers should use retrieval and spaced practice to boost long-term memory.

I credit this student feedback to our regular retrieval practice.
Instead of just putting info into the brain, we practice pulling it out with low stakes, immediate feedback activities.
Students focus less on cheating and more on checking their understanding.

Love using Wayground’s Mastery Peak for quick reviews before a unit project! 🏔️✨
Instead of a front of room review, I give our scholars 10 minutes to tackle a bank of 30 review questions. The results? Over 200 questions answered and massive amounts of #RetrievalPractice in no time! 🧠🚀

I saw the same taxi driver today - the one I gave the masks to before Christmas.
She had the masks to hand. She wasn't wearing one.
And she wasn't familiar with how to put them on.

Now then, (as they say in Yorkshire), I've just come across this example of #RetrievalPractice from the 17th Century. publicdomainreview.org/collection/r...
Robert Fludd’s Memory Tricks (1617)
Robert Fludd's alphabet of correspondences, where each letter and number is paired with an object which echoes its shape.

Research shows that #retrievalpractice is straight-up awesome.
This meta-analysis suggests ways to fine-tune our RP strategies. (E.g.: feedback helps but isn't necssary; "brain dumps" are probably not very effective.)
