Beth Dichter's insight:

Educational transfer is a key component of teaching. What can we do as teachers to help our students be able to take what they have been taught and apply it in new situations? This post explores this issue with a focus on how to use digital media to enhance the transfer. 

It discusses recent research that has been published by the National Academies Press, "Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century".

Learn about the three processes that take place when a student learns a new idea. "Check out (the) awesome chart from National Academies Press that summarizes twelve simple, research-based strategies for multimedia design." 
This post provides a glimpse of what you will find in the book. To go directly to the book (which you can download as a pdf for free) go to http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13398.
