    A larger brain does not necessarily grant greater intelligence. It is generally understood that one needs to take into account the ratio of brain to body mass. Basically this means that the larger the body, the more of the brain will be devoted to "non-intelligent" tasks such as heat regulation and physical coordination. Taking this into account, males and females have roughly the same brain to body mass, and hence, almost identical levels of intelligence. This is a very interesting article. Good job Katy!

    This happens to me often. When stress is running your life, reducing your stress levels in any way you can and practicing relaxation techniques is an essential part of protecting your brain and your ability to learn and recall information.

    I enjoyed this very much. Understanding the difference between fluff content and valuable content isn't rocket science. Just ask yourself: What am I actually offering my readers? Creating great content is even more work. It's not just about making a deadline, but making content that will resonate with readers and add value to their life.

    I enrolled in a MOOC class last semester and it didn't go too well. Honestly, I didn't like the course because it wasn't appealing to me. The instructor did not interact with the students too much and the assignments were too lengthy for being a 5 week course. Thank goodness it was free!

    Maria, Don't get me wrong, I like the feature of a MOOC course because it's of the flexibility and variety of courses but as a a course designer, the content needs to be engaging.

      Wow, eleven devices sounds like too many.

  • Although the media spends a lot of ink (er, pixels) on the scary aspects (cyberbullying! sexting!),
  • “The ability to use technology to seek answers to questions and reach out across the world opens the mind to an almost endless expanse of knowledge,”

    Article of integrating the right technology to kids according to the age.

    Adam, I also found this article very useful because I'm often searching for what is adequate in technology for my daughter to use. She currently has her own Kindle w/parental controls but I have noticed that sometimes she gets bored of the activities or programs that she uses suitable for her age. I think at times she needs more of a challenge in the programs that she currently uses.
