In teaching math, I have always felt that it was extremely important to use drill to be sure that the knowledge goes into long term memory. I was happy to see that Willingham has research to support this.
I have said to my students that PRACTICE is the key to success and correlate it to when they may have begun to learn a new sport or play an instrument. They think about the number of hours went into becoming better at their goal.
Praising my students for their efforts is has always been one of my strong beliefs. Students need to know that you realize how hard they may be working.

I've been of the school of thought that looking up basic information when needed is good enough - memorization of lists of facts is a waste of time - especially as I am of the look it up variety of learner and dates and facts don't seem to stick in my head...but I felt the points Willingham makes about short term or working memory made a lot of sense to me and now I am thinking about the learning of factual information differently. Like Richardson, I'm not sure all of the capitals of the states should be on the required information list, but understanding where all the states ARE on the map, is...
It was nice to see Willingham and I are on the same page when it comes to knowledge goes into long term memory by PRACTICE and DRILL. I've always supported the fact that students need to practice extensively in anything they do for it to become knowledge. I also believe that building rapport and giving the students verbal rewards and praise not only will allow them to get better in attaining their goals but it also enhances them in all facets of their lives.
