Hi Julie: Absoutely - engaging students, ivolving multiple senses and introducing variety into the lesson plan, and using multiple resources and media choices, these help keep the attention of student and reinforce their long term memory and retention of learned knowledge. Repetition and practice are key to this as well. I believe the more the student is involved in their own instruction, the better they will remember and perform in their work or profession. Ways to achieve this involve group discussions, individual presentation of material, conducting research, teaching others and being tested by their peers. Just a few examples. Regards, Barry
