All my students are getting a book on learning this term

From this past summer's physics teacher camp website, I caught this excellent list of readings on teaching and learning:

https://sites.google.com/site/physicsteachercamp/readings

There was a bit of overlap between this list and a series of articles, infographics and other material that I have compiled into a booklet I am affectionately calling the “Book of Infinite Learning”.  The learning is what is infinite; the book is not.

I compiled all the articles together and printed them in booklet form.  Of course, I have no rights to these articles, so I can't share the books beyond my classroom, but I can share the links to the articles that went into this booklet.

Here’s a partial list of all the articles I’m giving my classes this Fall:

1. How Does the Brain Learn Best? Smart Studying Strategies -  http://bit.ly/brain-learn-best
   This article is from the Mindshift blog on KQED’s website.

14. Re-reading is inefficient. Here are 8 tips for studying smarter. - http://bit.ly/studyingsmarter

As you can see, I have a few favorite sources that I have drawn from over the years - Rhett Allain and the Mindshift blog, especially.  All the articles are things that others have shared with me on twitter over the years.  I'm always excited to get to share them with students - bring on this new term!
