  • The evidence suggested, then, that the distinctive neural pathways of experienced Web users had developed because of their Internet use.
  • The depth of our intelligence hinges on our ability to transfer information from working memory, the scratch pad of consciousness, to long-term memory, the mind’s filing system. When facts and experiences enter our long-term memory, we are able to weave them into the complex ideas that give richness to our thought.

  • And that short-term storage is fragile: A break in our attention can sweep its contents from our mind.
  • Imagine filling a bathtub with a thimble; that’s the challenge involved in moving information from working memory into long-term memory. When we read a book, the information faucet provides a steady drip, which we can control by varying the pace of our reading. Through our single-minded concentration on the text, we can transfer much of the information, thimbleful by thimbleful, into long-term memory and forge the rich associations essential to the creation of knowledge and wisdom. On the Net, we face many information faucets, all going full blast. Our little thimble overflows as we rush from tap to tap. We transfer only a small jumble of drops from different faucets, not a continuous, coherent stream

    THE HUMAN MEMORY Since time immemorial, humans have tried to understand what memory is, how it works and why it goes wrong. It is an important part of what makes us truly human, and yet it is one of the most elusive and misunderstood of human attributes.

      This is scary to think, but very true. The internet is turning us into fast paced people who do not learn things in depth. This could not only harm our learning, but our long term memory if we are not properly storing information.
  • comprehension declined as the number of links increased
  • When the load exceeds our mind’s ability to process and store it, we’re unable to retain the information or to draw connections with other memories.

      I think this is another big problem in education - information overload. Students may not be able to remember things quick enough, and so much information is out there online that it can be hard to navigate through it all.

  • Interactive learning triples students’ gains in knowledge as measured by the kinds of conceptual tests that had once deflated Mazur’s spirits, and by many other assessments as well. It has other salutary effects, like erasing the gender gap between male and female undergraduates.
  • For his part, Mazur has collected reams of data on his students’ results. (He says most scholars, even scientists, rely on anecdotal evidence instead.) End-of-semester course evaluations he dismisses as nothing more than “popularity contests” that ought to be abolished. “There is zero correlation between course evaluations and the amount learned,” he says. “Award-winning teachers with the highest evaluations can produce the same results as teachers who are getting fired.”
  • Active learners take new information and apply it, rather than merely taking note of it.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • From cognitive science, we hear that learning is a process of moving information from short-term to long-term memory; assessment research has proven that active learning does that best.”
  • Websites and laptops have been around for years now, but we haven’t fully thought through how to integrate them with teaching so as to conceive of courses differently.”
  • It starts from his view of education as a two-step process: information transfer, and then making sense of and assimilating that information. “
  • Taking active learning seriously means revamping the entire teaching/learning enterprise—even turning it inside out or upside down. For example, active learning overthrows the “transfer of information” model of instruction, which casts the student as a dry sponge who passively absorbs facts and ideas from a teacher.
