Cooper-Kahn and Dietzel (2008) suggest using concrete storage systems to help students remember information. A concrete external storage system differs from the normal visuals provided in the classroom for all students in that it can be personalized, and the student does not have to differentiate it from all the posted classroom visuals. The idea behind this strategy is to have students store their thoughts in a physical place from which they can be easily retrieved. Examples of concrete external storage systems include to-do lists, oral information put into notes, cues for listening, technology such as Mindjet Manager, templates for different types of assignments, photos (see clean desk photo—Image 2.2 below), and dictated responses. In terms of photos, we have found students respond well to personalized photos as short-term memory prompts. An example is provided below. Students, using devices, can take photos and store the pictures. Instant cameras can be used in the classroom to document papers and materials.
