Why Memorize

Many educators back away from having students do memory work and focus instead on helping students think. I, of course, and a strong supporter of helping students think and I understand why so many teachers don't like doing memory work - it is really really hard to do memory work with 40 students without a system like StudyTag!

Here is what I propose. For 5 minutes a day or less have your students do memory work on your given subject using StudyTag. If you have the students for an hour use the remaining time helping teach them how to think. Not only will the students remember more about what you are teaching, I think you will find they are better thinkers too. You can't think very interesting or creative ideas without fist having something to think about!
