1. In what ways does the Multi-Store Model of memory have relevance for your students and teaching practice?

2. How might your understanding of this model apply to the design or modify learning plans for your students? Please provide at least one specific example.

Your answer should address both questions (relevance & application), be at least a few sentences long but no more than two paragraphs.

After you submit your response, use the rubric to evaluate yourself.

My answer:
The Atkinson and Shiffrin model is very useful to become aware about the learning process. Sometimes it's easier to "blame" the student or the teacher about the ineffectiveness of the lesson, however the model shows clearly that it is a good rule to nurture the dialogue between short and long memories within us for a successful learning. The understanding of such an essential step has made me thought about re-evaluate my lesson plans in order to bring up this aspects with my students to make them aware of it. I might propose for example to actively think to which real-life situations the topic could be applied without suggesting it, or perhaps to link the new topic with something they know already through sounds or visual similarity (I teach foreign languages in grades 6-8)
