    Ever get stumped by a question? Explania may have the answer. Animations range from the history of football to the inner workings of the human heart. This is definitely a good resource and could be a good model for student technology projects requiring them to demonstrate understanding of complex topics.

    OK, if you are looking for an experience that will transform you emotionally, watch Joan Halifax's TED talk at TED Women 2010. This is an inspiring, thought-provoking, and energizing talk about compassion, empathy, and being human.

  • "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
  • When a program runs and produces a good result, it's perfect. It's awfully hard to define success the same way in the humanities. What we do, teaching or writing, can always be better. The program will never simply run.

creativity mind neuroscience wandering

shared by Chris Harrow on 26 May 12 - No Cached
  • A study now suggests that simply taking a break does not bring on inspiration — rather, creativity is fostered by tasks that allow the mind to wander.
  • From an evolutionary perspective, mind-wandering seems totally counterproductive and has been viewed as dysfunctional because it compromises people’s performance in physical activities. However, Baird’s work shows that allowing the brain to enter this state when it is considering complex problems can have real benefits. Zoning out may have aided humans when survival depended on creative solutions.

    Some evidence that 100% "time on task" might actually be counterproductive if you want to develop creativity.

    Thanks Chris. I'm currently reading Jonah Lehrer's "Imagine: How Creativity Works." lots of tie-ins with this research (Kounios is one of his main sources). I wonder if we can build such mind- wandering into our classes...do physics labs allow for "deliberate zoning out time"? Probably not.

    Asking good questions is a big part of a strong inquiry-based lesson. Check out how history teachers do it.

  • I quickly figured out how to play that game successfully – success in that case being measured by my being able to solve under exam conditions, problems like the ones the teacher had shown us and we had practiced in class and done for homework.
  • In fact, you can’t separate real teaching from learning. They are simply two perspectives of the same human interactive process.
  • For whereas technology can provide instruction and can provide teachers and students with resources to assist them, what is cannot do on its own is teach them.
