(StatePoint) It happened again this year: The kids are back in the classroom before you\u2019ve had the chance to blink. Thankfully, new developments in education are making it easier than ever for students to hit the ground running.<\/p>\n
These days, technology has the power to dramatically improve how kids digest, retain and apply information \u2013 if you know how to use it. Check out these great study tips that can help your student achieve the grades they strive for.<\/p>\n
Quit Cramming<\/strong> Instead of packing learning into marathon sessions, students should maintain a regular study schedule leading up to their tests and should make sure to get plenty of shut-eye.<\/p>\n Create a Digital Tool-Kit<\/strong> For example, McGraw-Hill Education\u2019s LearnSmart provides an adaptive \u201cdigital tutor\u201d that continuously assesses students\u2019 knowledge and skills and provides personalized recommendations that help them master content over time. By helping students focus their study time more on learning what they don\u2019t know and less on what they already know, LearnSmart can help turn C students into B students and B students into A students.<\/p>\n The company also offers SmartBook, a personalized digital textbook that adjusts on the fly and highlights important information based on each student\u2019s current strengths and weaknesses. You can find more information on McGraw-Hill Education\u2019s entire family of adaptive learning tools at www.mheducation.com\/back-to-school.<\/p>\n Jump Around<\/strong> If your children apply themselves and use these tips to guide their studies, they\u2019ll have a leg up in the beginning of the school year. Whether it\u2019s McGraw-Hill Education\u2019s digital learning products, an outside-the-box approach to test-prep, or just a good night\u2019s sleep, a dynamic, modern approach to education can help your child thrive.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is the era of digital education,\u201d said Jeff Livingston, senior vice president of McGraw-Hill Education. \u201cWe must continue to develop adaptive technologies that streamline the learning process and increase the potential of students everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n If your student has struggled in the past, or if you think he or she isn\u2019t reaching his or her true potential, try some new techniques to help make this school year the best one yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (StatePoint) It happened again this year: The kids are back in the classroom before you\u2019ve had the chance to blink.

\n\u201cAll-nighters\u201d are a relic of the \u201cSaved by the Bell\u201d era. Research now shows that students who cram the evening before a test or quiz are less likely to perform well the following day. Rest is critical for academic success.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBe prepared\u201d is the simple motto of the Boy Scouts, and it applies to almost every facet of life. You wouldn\u2019t try to build a tree-house without a hammer, saw and nails — you shouldn\u2019t study with an empty tool kit either. These days, there are unique tech tools available that make the studying process more efficient, engaging and effective.<\/p>\n
\nNot physically, but figuratively. When prepping for a test, most students review course materials in chronological order. While this approach may seem logical, research suggests that studying out-of-order helps students retain standalone knowledge more effectively. This allows them to recall information in a randomized fashion (the way it appears on tests).<\/p>\n
