WEEK 3 

In chapter 4 of How People Learn II (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, 2018), the authors review three cognitive functions that are necessary for learning to occur: executive function; self-regulation; and working- and long-term memories. 

The infographic below summarizes these processes and includes digital technological resources that encourage creative thinking and problem-solving. Integration of digital technology supports building the executive function and self-regulation skills students require by giving them access to engaging tools and resources. Included in these resources are arts related resources that promote creative thinking, and the more students think about creating and designing solutions that contribute to their future successes in the real world. These innovative skills foster a future world in which today's learners are able to find the solutions to worldly problems, a critical aspect of society's future.
