The core value of this book lies in the twelve powerful 'Cyberlearning Questions' which have been skillfully crafted by the author. These well-constructed questions will help you to think through and navigate the information overload in your text materials. The author gives a lot of specific study/reading examples to guide the reader.
Most students treat study/reading as a regurgitating process. In essence, study/reading is a thinking - and reflective - process. Questions help you to think and reflect better. Not only that, they help you to retain and recall the learned information better and faster. Think about it: A 'question mark' when inverted looks exactly like a 'fish hook.' It hooks into your memory banks. The 'Cyberlearning Questions' have been designed specifically for this purpose.
For any student who wants to master his life in school and in college (or even in the university), and if you can just learn and then master these twelve questions, your life will be a breeze. Guaranteed!
In fact, I would strongly recommend all teachers to read this book if they really want to help their students to excel in school. The twelve questions will greatly enhance their repertoire of teaching tools.
As a matter of fact, I have incorporated (with some adaptations) all the twelve questions in my own training programs with teachers and school kids across all levels. For working professionals who want to read faster, these twelve questions can be easily adapted to cater to their reading needs. I have proven them in my own workshops with entrepreneurs, professionals and managers.
In other words, this great book is also suitable for all working professionals, especially those taking evening MBA programs.
Nevertheless, I would still recommend young readers to read this book jointly with Sean Covey's Seven Habits for Highly Effective Teens. This is my reason: The first three habits, namely, Be Proactive, Having the End in Mind, and First Things First, as outlined in the book, must come first for any student who wants to achieve personal success in school life.
To put into perspective, once you exercise personal initiative, take consistent and prioritised action - and with a specific purpose in your mind, the strategy of using the twelve questions will easily fall into place.
In the case of working adults, read Stephen Covey (the author's father)'s book.
The author gives lots of suggestions and tips on how to significantly improve our learming abilities. As he states in his book is not about being less or more intelligent, but it's about being smart and apply simple techniques to enhance learning, being able to process the learning and then being able to retrive the information when needed, especially during an exam. Everybody can do this just by using the techniques.
I immediatly started to apply his suggestions and I'm already noticing how my understandng of the topics I'm studying is much better and because I fully understand it I'm more likely to remember what I'm studying.
I would also advice to read Tony Buzan books on mind map. I have found mind maps very useful as well especially for revision.
I think that combining mind maps with Adam Robinson's techniques any average student can become a first class student.
Parents please buy this book for your children as this book will really help to improve their grades and it will equip them with great learning tools for the rest of their lives.
Good luck!
