Taking on the challenge of Libraries 2.0 made me think back to days of cramming for exams & made me think how pleased I am that there isn’t an exam at the end of this very interesting program. No matter how much I thought I knew, the info always seemed to escape my mind at exam time. I was forever inventing mnemonics to remember lists and give myself clues. It’s funny, because now I have forgoten most of the memory clues – maybe they will come back to me now that I am back into “learning”. One that has stayed in my mind, is a memory clue for the concepts you need to remember when evaluating a resource. I used the word PASTA. (Purpose, authority, scope, format, audience) The T came from the end of the word format, rather than the beginning like the other clues, but hey, it worked at the time & has stayed with me over the years.
The “My Very Elderly Mother Just Sits Under The North Pole: was a well know planet trigger. I wonder what is used these days now that Pluto is no longer included?
I’d be interersted to rediscover more memory tools from the students and the parents out there”
