Andy Salmon and Thinkalink are on a mission to get the world linking. Linking is a fun and easy way to remember things employing the underused learning-tool, mnemonics. Learning by rote is a tad dull and not foolproof whereby linking is....as long as the link resonates of course! For example, to commit to memory that the disease, scurvy, results from a lack of Vitamin C, you just need to remember that the letter C's curvy. Anyone can link regardless of age or intelligence. Everyone has an imagination and linking taps into that imagination instilling confidence, at the same time. By linking information that you know with information you don't it makes learning fun, exciting and much more memorable If you needed to know that the word 'pavilion' only has one L then you simply remember that there is a cricket wicket (ili) in the middle of the word, pavilion. Linking is tremendous fun for two reasons. One, the challenge of trying to link two words and, two, learning a fact for life. Absolutely anything can be linked, anything at all, whether it be the meaning of sesquipedalian, what bone the mandible is, who wrote the opera, Cavalliera Rusticana, or even the names of Santa's eight reindeers....they can all be linked!! 'Hinckley John shot wrinkly Ron' is a catchy way of remembering who tried to assassinate Ronald Reagan. Check out Andy's website www.thinkalink.co.uk and see him in action. You mark each link out of 10 and if you think you can do better, then submit your own and let's see what the public think. If it's the most popular link, for the said fact, then you'll get your name in the book! Linking's going global. Come and join the revolution!
