It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

During my second semester at Concordia University I took a class that had a profound impact on my attitudes about learning and education. This presentation came from a project where we were distilling the information from a chapter in the texbook and presenting an article that enhanced the same topic. I selected this particular assignment because what I learned about memory and "how" we learn has not only been applied to lesson plans, but also changed my own study habits.

One of my favorite types of assignments that were given in several classes were handout designs. Everyone in the class selected a key concept from the course and would then create an informative and engaging handout. All of the handouts would then be bound together and given to the students as a resource tool to not only use to study for exams, but also as a reference when the semester was over. This is a handout I designed about using portfolios as an assessment tool.
