Aspects
We might suggest that ICT and online tools can help support aspects of study skills and preparation for exams in three ways;• Organising relevant information• Helping you memorise relevant information• Collaborative learning and study
InterconnectedOf course, these three aspects are completely inter-related in practice:
Organise
MemoriseCollaborate
Organise
Organise your time
Organise your sources
Organise your learning partnerships
And help keep in touch
Memorise
Use flashcards to aid memory and recall.
Extend the impact of Flashcards by re-using at the right time.
Mind mapping can help recall and establish links between ideas
Consider learning styles… are you an effective auditory learner? Maybe you need to see stuff happening.
Collaborate
The GDST portal…? Well it can do lots of these things… but in the way you want?
A quick way to keep in touch and share questions/solutions #rhsstudy
Facebook for education, edmodo helps groups work together effectively
Find and share presentations online
What works for you?
Of course, it’s important to consider what works for you and to play to your strengths. Consider:• ICT tools you already know and how they might be
useful• Don’t waste time investing effort in things that might
not be productive (if you can help it)• Invest effort in supporting friends you know will
support you (get out more than you put in)• ICT can lead you to new and interesting things – but
is that always helpful? Keep your focus!
