Brain breaks: teaching students to maintain their brain health
Cognitive abilities for studying and accepting new knowledge vary from student to student. Each student also has their own learning strategies that help them study in the most effective way. However, even the most prepared and savvy students have moments when they find it difficult to focus or perceive new information.
