1. Write or record Wikipedia entries. Wikipedia.

com (off-site link) can be a valuable

resource for students. Read the articles related to


your topic of study.

2. Join a discussion group. Joining a discussion group can help you find answers

to your questions and retain enthusiasm for your


subject.

3. Post your reading notes online. Posting your notes for public scrutiny will encourage

you to verify the information and present the facts in


the most comprehensible way possible. Plus, your notes will help others prepare for their own assignments.

4. Create online flash cards.


If you have to memorize terms and definitions, skip the index cards. Instead, try an online flash card maker.

5. Broadcast a podcast. If you have the equipment and the know-how, creating a weekly (or monthly) podcast about what you're learning can be a fun way to really get to know your subject of study.

Drink Water
As Carla Hannaford says, "Water comprises more of the brain (with estimates of 90%) than of any other organ of the body.

"Brain Buttons This exercise helps improve blood flow to the brain

to "switch on" the entire brain before a lesson begins.


The increased blood flow helps improve concentration skills required for reading, writing, etc.

"Cross Crawl"
This exercise helps coordinate right and left brain by exercising the information flow between the two hemispheres. It is useful for spelling, writing,

listening, reading and comprehension.

"Hook Ups
This works well for nerves before a test or special event such as making a speech.

Read sitting up, with a good light, at a desk or table.

Keep background noise to a minimum. Loud rock


and roll music will not make you a better reader.

The same goes for screaming kids, talking roommates, television or radio. Give yourself a quiet environment so that you can concentrate on the text.

Keep paper

and pen within reach.

2.State your point, demonstrate your point, back it up with a quote. When you have the opportunity to share your views in the class chat, begin by stating your main point.

3.Respond to your classmates. A chat room is meant for interaction, so dont make your comments in isolation.

4.Practice chat room netiquette.


Read the class chat rooms FAQs or Rules section before the chat session.

5.Be friendly but formal. Chat rooms are often a casual environment, but dont

forget to convey a professional image when chatting


for an online class.

1. Survey your textbook or workbook before you read. Take a couple of minutes to find the glossary, index, study questions, and other important information.Then, when you sit down to study, youll know where to find the answers you are looking for. Make sure you read any study questions before you read the chapter.

2. Attack your textbook with sticky notes. As you read, summarize (write down the main points in just a few sentences) each section of the chapter on a post-it note. After you have read the entire chapter and summarized each section, go back and review the post-it notes. Reading the post-it notes is an easy and fast way to review information and, since each note is stuck in the section it summarizes, you can easily find the information you need.

3. Use a graphic organizer to take notes when you read. A graphic organizer is a form you can use to organize information. As you read, fill out the form with important information. Then, use your graphic organizer to help you study for the test. Try using the Cornell notes worksheet (you can download an example at Jim Burkes website).

4. Make your own practice test. After you finish reading, pretend you are a professor who is writing a test for the chapter. Review the material you just read and make up your own practice test. Include all vocabulary words, study questions (theyre usually at the beginning or end of the chapter), and highlighted words you can find, as well as any other information you think is important.

5. Create visual flashcards.

Flashcards arent just for primary students. Many college students find
them useful as well! Before you take a test, make flashcards that will help you remember important terms, people, places, and dates. Use one 3x5 index for each term. On the front of the card, write down the term or

question you need to answer and draw a picture that will help you
remember it.
