What are other methods that do prove beneficial? Are digital natives better at multitasking? --- --- --- --- --- --- --- Answers: - Deindividuation - Disinformation - Rereading, highlighting, and cramming the material do not hold long term benefits in learning. They provide a false sense of knowledge of the material which encourages students to think they actually know information that they truly do not know. On the other hand, methods like summarization, elaboration, and interleaved practice will prove to improve a student's understanding of the material. These methods better stimulate how a student interacts with, and therefore, remembers information. - Digital natives are not inherently better at multitasking. Many of them have grown up multitasking, but it does not necessarily mean they are better at it. As written in the slides, "researchers found that 2.4% of college students can talk on the telephone while operating an automobile simulator without degraded performance (Rheingold 2012, “Net Smart”, p. 37)". To combat this, working on only one thing at a time and potentially even using the Pomodoro method will greatly improve performance.
