Willingham's advice has been incredibly useful as my son heads into finals this season.
Interestingly, my son seems as intrigued by the study advice as I am, and wants to read the articles and book for himself when school ends.

Moonwalking with Einstein (about memory -- but includes brain research)
What Can I do to Help my Child With Math When I don't Know Any Myself (GREAT study advice)
The Shallows (I'm about 3/4 done. Well worth the read. I'm identifying strongly.)
About to read:

The Shallows has been a gripping read. I am identifying as well, which is a problem. Things needs to change around here and soon.
I was just reading my daughter's report from her teachers for an upcoming meeting, and all of the teachers say that she gets distracted by the computer. My one complaint with her school is that they have a "laptop" program. I understand why they did it (15 years ago), but I think it's a mistake.
I'm savoring the last bits of The Shallows. Don't want it to end, which is always a good sign.
