The personal learning network for educators
Tags:
I run "brainworks" sessions with students where they investigate model brains; view animated computer graphics; label a diagram; dissect a sheep's brain and construct model brains. These multi-sensory rehearsal strategies assist in developing multiple neural pathways so that retention and retrieval of the information/knowledge is more efficient. We also explore the role of emotions in learning; the formation of memories and how information is processed. Some useful references are How the Brain Learns by David Sousa; Teaching with the Brain in Mind by Eric Jensen and Learning in the Emotional Rooms by John Joseph. There are, of course, many more but these three make a really good starting point
