What Makes a Lesson Truly Memorable?

---

A truly memorable lesson is the unique result of the combination of many factors, such as its relation to the learners' personal needs and interests, its experiential hands-on methodology, its emotional appeal and so on. Also, when students co-create something, their learning experience has a 'tangible' outcome, which remains stable in space and time. Being able to 'revisit' their creations, whether physical or digital, makes learning literally unforgettable
