✅ Checklist: the key points of this course
Two sessions, one resolution per lesson, to check off. This is the ideal approach; you will find the reasons and evidence in each session.
Session 1 · When It Gets Hard, You Are Learning
Session 2 · Technology in Learning: The Same Old Promise
Session 1 · When It Gets Hard, You Are Learning
- ☐ I write the back of my flashcards myself, in my own words.
- ☐ I ask the tool for hints instead of solutions and then solve the problem again without any aids.
- ☐ After a lecture, I test myself without notes: Can I restate what it was about and solve a problem on it?
Session 2 · Technology in Learning: The Same Old Promise
- ☐ With every new learning tool, I ask whether it has been tested instead of believing the promise.
- ☐ I do not learn only from materials; I also look for people to work with.
- ☐ I learn what I can do without the tool and check claims myself.
