Quizlet and MATOP Resources

This information has been published before but is worth repeating. The teachers from the Milwaukee Area Teachers of Psychology have produced some amazing resources that we all can access.

Go to this link at Quizlet. It has links to several sets of vocabulary for numerous textbooks--use one or more that applies to you. Quizlet as a tool is quite flexible and helpful for students who use it for studying. Create your own study sets, copy the MATOP sets to your account in order to share with your students. Your students will be very thankful.

Create your own account.

Be sure to find your own text at the link. Copy the sets to your own accounts. This way you can create your own classes for your students to use. My students find these resources to be incredibly valuable.

Textbook Reading and AP Psychology

Seems like a question pops up nearly weekly from a colleague, on Twitter, or on the AP Psychology Facebook page about "how do I get kids to read the textbook" or "how do I teach kids to read a textbook"?

When perusing my Twitter feed tonight (third trimester insomnia is SO ENJOYABLE), I ran across this blog post and was intrigued on what the author Rachel Adragna had to say. The blog is posted on the "Learning Scientists" blog which has been featured on this blog before (not trying to fan-girl, but I'm fan-girling)...

The post is about a technique that I've never used nor really seen (or seen in this form) to read, study and learn material presented from a text. I love the strategy presented and think that many kids could benefit from this way to read the text.
So.....here's the post "Be Your Own Teacher, How to Study a Textbook". Enjoy!
