Question

What are/were your favorite educational games? I'm trying to learn more about e learning and what kids like and learn from the most.

Answer 1

memory games such as deciding which people retain information in their long term memory by learning by ....audio, video, reading and my favorite but one that psychiatrists often don't use but works for me "repetition" you see I have a brain injury and my short term memory is damaged but I learned I still have a long term memory to get questions with answers out of my short term memory and into my long term memory like everyone else I must have a strong emotional reaction to the information.....good college professors know this and have techniques to create strong emotional reactions to information. I've also seen reward such as candy given out but I don't agree with it. My favorite would be a small light stick but as you know that is very illegal in this country my second choice and the one I use is repetition. I have written a couple of programs that combine all those things other than the small light stick. If you follow my advice I suspect you will be successful. I'd love to know what your research reveals.
