Worried you’re not smart enough? Keep your brain active by learning, building good study habits and improving your memory.

When it comes to learning, it’s important to find the process and aspect that works best for you. Start by staying organized. Keep a list of tasks or skills you want to accomplish - like a to do list - that you can use to keep all of your ideas together in one place. Then, when it comes to memorizing new facts and ideas, make sure you’re engaging both your short and long-term memory to ensure you retain the information you’re learning. The best way to do this is by staying calm and relaxed; this will allow your brain to better process the information you’re taking in.

Looking for new methods of learning? When it comes to learning information, try teaching it to someone else. By repeating the information out loud verbally (sometimes multiple times) you will be able to remember facts better. Taking notes by hand is another great way to ensure the information stays with you long-term. Not only will you have the info written down for future use, but it will further solidify itself in your memory. And don’t forget to switch things up every now and then. By varying the ways in which you study or take in the information, you’ll find it much easier to recall in the future. Some learn better kinesthetically, or by moving around, while others have a logical way of learning.

Wondering what the importance of digital literacy is when it comes to learning? If you haven’t yet noticed, technology is quickly defining the future. Digital tools are being used every day to answer questions and evaluate new forms of problem-solving. The internet, too, has expanded the accessibility of knowledge; bringing key information to the doorstep of nearly every individual in the world - not just the rich and powerful. In addition, digital literacy encourages lifelong learning for children in kindergarten and elementary students and adults alike as everyone must be able to adapt to new technologies in order to better engage with the world around them.
