QTC 6.1 & 6.2

6.1 (lower level): To learn, we as humans have to convert what information we take in from short term memory to long term memory. We can do this using two forms of declarative knowledge: rote learning and meaningful learning. What are some examples of activities you could in a classroom to make rote knowledge entertaining and less formulaic?

6.2 (higher level): Working memory uses information given to us from our environment, while simultaneously pulling connecting information from storage, and uses all of it to execute a task. Why do you think students with AD/HD and learning disabilities struggle to use working memory efficiently and what can you do as a teacher to better assist these students?
