Hoy día es más importante tener la capacidad de desaprender lo innecesario y reaprender lo que es verdaderamente esencial en el siglo 21.

People love visuals. Visuals have been shown to help us learn more quickly and to retain more information than text alone. We’re more easily able to understand the world around us when we have visual components to aid us. The same goes for the classroom. If you present your students with a block of text …
