Memory processes

Now that I know more about how memory is stored and retrieved, I can really see myself actively considering these principles when I am making my lesson plans or engaging students. For instance, if I am giving students new information that I expect them to remember, I will give it to them in a manageable amount, as well as cluing them in to strategies that they can use to remember the info, so as mnemonics, visual imagery exercises, elaboration, and organization. I will try to structure the lesson so it is conducive to students using these strategies.
