Learning Overload

I thought that principal four was very interesting. I liked when it talked about how a students mind is very easy overloaded with too much information. Cutting down your information you throw at them and cutting out things that aren't necessary is really going to help your students learn quicker and actually remember what they have learned!

How students learn

I really loved Principle 6. There are so many misconceptions out there about how students learn. Some of which I believed. But it is important to know and teach the truth to our students mostly because believing in them can hurt the learning process. For example, if you believe you are a visual learner why would you even try to listen to a lecture? All students can learn with whatever method as long as it is effective.

How students understand new ideas

I really like this concept because you would be preparing your students for future lessons. For example, in 4th grade you might learn long division this will later help you in high school math. I moved in 4th grade so I later struggled greatly in math in high school. Providing a video or activity would really help in this case. It helps students grasp a concept much better and will help them stick.

Motivating students

I liked this principle because it discusses encouraging a growth mindset to help motivate students. If students don't believe they can accomplish something, they won't be motivated to try. It is also important to show the students relevance to what they are learning to motivate them because if they don't see purpose in it, they won't want to do it.
