In the first chapter of Making in Stick, Peter C. Brown et al, stress that rereading text, highlighting and taking notes is not an effective way to learn. He states that delayed quizzes seem to have the most impact on knowedge retention. Then is Chapter 3 he cites a study of kids in a PE class who throw bean bags. The children who varied their practice did better than the ones who only practiced from 3 feet. How can I put this to use in my modules?
My plan is to use existing online games and then quizzes made in Google Drive.
A few hours of searching turned up a jackpot of early learning resources.

While sketching out my modules I focus on varied repetition. Other sites that I like are:
