Transfer is critical to life long learning.
Needs Purposeful planning in teaching and learning.
Technology can support transfer learning such as AI tools that can help students to understand very well.

My reflection: I understand that transfer doesn't happen automatically. I as teacher should make connections and give real examples to engage students.
