Some students and professors are heading “back to school”. With Covid, learning with technology has become more important than ever. So today, Smile published an original article of mine: Technology-Enhanced Learning: 6 Ways to Master New Info.
The tips are:

- Be prepared

- Make connections
- Practice productively
- Keep learning about cognitive productivity
If you’d like to see a list of the apps I mentioned in that blog post, along with a bit of extra information, you can check out Seven Tips and Some Great Apps for Mastering Knowledge: Technology-enhanced learning, which is on the CogZest blog. That post also has extra information about productive practice and learning to learn. But the CogZest blog post leaves out a lot of the important material from the Smile article.
