Handbook of Emerging Technologies for Learning - Emerging Technologies for Learning - 1 views

  • planning to incorporate technologies in their teaching and learning activities
    • David Peter
       
      It's more than incorporating technology. Or even planning to incorporate technology. Technology MUST be APPROPRIATELY incorporated and integrated into teaching and learning.
    • Miguel Mendoza
       
      Just as Gavin Dudeney said in an interview technology should not be an add-on or extra...but it should be part of the syllabus following a sound pedagogical approach and assessment.

    The expansion of secondary education is now the world's most pressing educational challenge. This carefully prepared and thoroughly researched book should inspire policy-makers and educational planners to explore how open schooling can expand secondary education cost-effectively in their jurisdictions.

Music Improves Brain Function | LiveScience - 18 views

  • Laurel Trainor, director of the Institute for Music and the Mind at
    McMaster University in West Hamilton, Ontario, and colleagues compared
    preschool children who had taken music lessons with those who did not.
    Those with some training showed larger brain responses on a number of
    sound recognition tests given to the children. Her research indicated
    that musical training appears to modify the brain's auditory cortex.
  • Even a year or two of music training leads
    to enhanced levels of memory and attention when measured by the same
    type of tests that monitor electrical and magnetic impulses in the
    brain.
  • “We therefore hypothesize that musical training (but not necessarily
    passive listening to music) affects attention and memory, which
    provides a mechanism whereby musical training might lead to better
    learning across a number of domains," Trainor said.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Trainor suggested that the reason for this is that the motor and
    listening skills needed to play an instrument in concert with other
    people appears to heavily involve attention, memory and the ability to
    inhibit actions. Merely listening passively to music to Mozart -- or
    any other composer -- does not produce the same changes in attention
    and memory.
  • Harvard University researcher Gottfried Schlaug has also studied the
    cognitive effects of musical training. Schlaug and his colleagues found
    a correlation between early-childhood training in music and enhanced
    motor and auditory skills as well as improvements in verbal ability and
    nonverbal reasoning.
  • The correlation between music training and language development is even more striking for dyslexic children.



    "[The findings] suggest that a music intervention that strengthens
    the basic auditory music perception skills of children with dyslexia
    may also remediate some of their language deficits." Schlaug said.

  • Shahin's main findings are that the changes triggered by listening
    to musical sound increases with age and the greatest increase occur
    between age 10 and 13. This most likely indicates this as being a
    sensitive period for music and speech acquisition.
  • passive listening to music seems to help a person perform certain
    cognitive tests, at least in the short run. Actual music lessons for
    kids, however, leads to a longer lasting cognitive success.
