Bonni Stachowiak shares about retrieval practice tools on episode #127 of Teaching in Higher Ed.

Quotes from the episode

When we think about learning, we typically focus on getting information into our students’ heads. What if instead we focus on getting information out of our students’ heads?

Forgetting is the friend of learning.

As we use our memories, the things that we recall become more recallable.

Humorous note from Andrew, our podcast editor, to Bonni, that was too good not to share here: “That ‘get back up again’ song has got nothing on the original inspirational song“
