I really enjoyed learning about the different ways to help students process and retain different information. Its a great reminder that just a powerpoint and lecture with no other suplemental learning avenues isn't impactful for everyone. I always try to bring interactive elements into the lecture like props but will definately add some other elements after this module. 

Using mnemonics, scaffolding and visual aids can give students various ways to retain information.

How to navigate from a structured project into a more creative landscape for students. Initially giving lots of direction, but then reflecting on how they provided plenty of their own creativity in the process. 

Incorporating pretest may be helpful in getting a baseline assessment of learning to further guide instructional material to help facilitate learning 

As an educator understanding the multiple intelligences can help with facilitating learning that is more student centered  

Educators need to be aware of the differences in age of students as it plays a vital role in learning.  

I always found mind mapping a vital tool for learning.  "What can you tell me about....."  and let them carry it and fill it in.  f the y are not where you want them, prompt them to bring them to where you want them. 

Let your students run your reviews.  It is not a time for you to give insight to the test.  It is a time where you can redirect if you sense they are spending inordinate amounts of time on things that should not be.

People learn in different ways but are expected to have a set baseline for acceptance in their profession.  This must be stressed to students.  What will you do if there is no "kinesthetic" method for you to learn?  

Faculty who use multiple examples and different modes of learning will be more effective. Stop and ask questions...do some formative assessments so you know where they are at.
