A Good Deal

Well Dang! I just bought 2 composition books today for my notes. Two books, because it was buy one, get one free for a $1.69, That's a good deal, right? Another reason I bought a composition book for notes is because I've been using recycled printer paper, putting my notes on the backside.... free paper! BUT, my Amazon Parrot found out it's really funny to fly over Daddy's desk and blow papers on the floor, then watch my face turn red. Well, the comp book is heavier, and Parrot Helicopter proof.

Old fashion?

Is it old fashion to take notes? No, it's not , and the reason I take notes, is because I like to review them later when I'm relaxing, without a computer, Pad or Pod. For me, It almost puts me right back in the lecture hall listening to the speaker, or watching the video again. I like to go to my Florida Room where I have a great view of tropical plants, and trees to do my study work. It's very important to have a quiet and peaceful place to study, where there are limited interruptions and distraction. I find my self staring out the window at the Banana trees when the breeze blows the 7 foot long leaves back and forth. I'm not going to call that a distraction... because I'm still thinking!!

Review Review REVIEW

While in College we had a Course called, Becoming a Master Student. We learned many facts about how the brain works. One important thing we learned is; studies show that reviewing new educational information within 24 hours, helps insure the information can be retrieved from memory, and if it's not reviewed within 24 hours and can be lost! It's the first step toward building the path for retrieval from the brain. This is a proven learning tool for reinforcing memory. You don't have to review hand written notes like i do, that's just my way of getting away from the computer.... you can review the video, or listen to the lecture, re-read the lesson, as long as you review it.

I hope this helps a little...

Thanks for reading..
