Sponge Learning Skills Gift Card

Descripción

Kids today are growing up in the most intellectually competitive economy the world has ever seen. Those who can learn deeply and rapidly will find new ways to propel themselves forward. They may luck out with great teachers, but they need to soak up knowledge regardless. Give someone you care about the chance to soak up the knowledge they need with the Sponge Learning SkillsTM gift card. Your gift card is their ticket to the Sponge online study skills program. Sponge is an online, "e-learning" program. Learners access the program over the internet, and proceed through course modules at their own pace. The program guides learners through the lessons, and tracks their progress to completion. Learners engage with online videos, interactive demonstrations, exercises, quizzes and more. Sponge uses light, upbeat presentations and graphics to keep learners absorbed. Sponge includes practice and feedback to maintain focus. Much like a video game, learners have to successfully address challenges at each level before moving on. Sponge was designed by Dr. Winston Sieck, a cognitive psychologist with expertise in human learning, memory, and thinking, who has personally taught study skills courses. The learning strategies covered in Sponge are the result of decades of scientific research into the best ways people learn. Sponge teaches core principles about how memory works, and how to use that to study smarter. The topics covered also include proven strategies to master textbooks, and to learn the most from lectures. Time management techniques are also covered, including ways to avoid procrastination and become a motivated learner. Test taking skills for tackling different kinds of tests are also taught as part of the program.
