Effective studying is one of the most important methods to have when you are attending a school. In our text for class, we learned ways to effectively study, like being organized and taking breaks. There is also a specific process we use when studying to have new material we have learned go into long-term memory. Elaborate is the terminology used to have information transferred to long-term memory. For example, when reading text, you tend to give what you have learned a meaning behind it to remember. In modern day today there are so many ways to effectively study there’s smart pads where you can digitally upload your notes to save them for class. There is also having the ability to study on the go by having E-books where you can highlight important notes. Do you think that technology will continue to advance with effective studying? or do you think that we are at the height of our advancements?  

In the Science Daily, there was an article I came across about learning being more effective when you are active. I thought it was interesting because it reminds me of the effective studying techniques we learned in class. Based on the article, it states that when students are engaged in activities linked to the lesson, academic performance increases. This method also shows a positive response to social support, meaning students want to be involved in the classroom. Which method do you think is more effective?
