Or are well-intended advocates once again overhyping the ability of electrons and processors to solve thorny problems of teaching and learning? In this Education Next forum, John Chubb of Edison Schools and Stanford University political scientist Terry Moe make the case for the transformative power of today’s technology.

It functions by imagining a room (e.g. your sitting room or bedroom). Within that room are objects. The technique works by associating images with those objects. The Roman Room technique serves as one of the bases of the extremely effective language mnemonic systems described elsewhere within Mind Tools. Mind Tools Mnemonic Grades: Ease of Use - easy Effectiveness - effective Power - quite powerful Learning investment - moderate Who should use - people needing to store unstructured information on a topic.
