    "Something else you can do to keep your brain fit is to take advantage of neuroplasticity. Just as the muscles in your body get stronger when you exercise them, our brains benefit from activities that cause it to change and adapt."

How to Deal With Kids' Math Anxiety | MindShift - 0 views

  •  
    "Brain scans of these children also show that when they're in the grip of math anxiety, activity is reduced in the information-processing and reasoning areas of their brains-exactly the regions that should be working hard to figure out the problems in front of them."

Neuro Myths: Separating Fact and Fiction in Brain-Based Learning - 0 views

  •  
    Credit: iStockphoto You've surely heard the slogans: "Our educational games will give your brain a workout!" Or how about, "Give your students the cognitive muscles they need to build brain fitness." And then there's the program that "builds, enhances, and restores natural neural pathways to assist natural learning." Read this article to separate fact and fiction about the brain and how it functions.

    Found a video on YouTube which is 5:50 and it is about Brain Based Learning by Eric Jensen. I am putting the link as a book mark. The link is:
  •  
    One thing that stuck with me throughout this video is to make sure as an educator you know how to get the attention of a student's brain and keep it. Another thing about brain based learning that intrigued me was that you need not get the kids to care or to "buy in" what you are teaching. If they do not buy into what you are doing they won't learn.

Theory behind Mind Maps - 0 views

  • A Mind Map converts a long list of monotonous information into a colorful, memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brain's natural way of doing things.
  • He argues that 'traditional' outlines require that the reader scans the information from left to right and top to bottom, whilst the brain's natural preference is to scan the entire page in a non-linear fashion.

    "A Mind Map is a highly effective way of getting information in and out of your brain - it is a creative and logical means of note-taking and note-making that literally "maps out" your ideas."

  • Brain activity of the experienced surfers was far more extensive than that of the newbies, particularly in areas of the prefrontal cortex associated with problem-solving and decisionmaking.

      Interesting
  • The evidence suggested, then, that the distinctive neural pathways of experienced Web users had developed because of their Internet use.
  • The depth of our intelligence hinges on our ability to transfer information from working memory, the scratch pad of consciousness, to long-term memory, the mind’s filing system. When facts and experiences enter our long-term memory, we are able to weave them into the complex ideas that give richness to our thought.

      Key fact from the text.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • And that short-term storage is fragile: A break in our attention can sweep its contents from our mind.
  • Imagine filling a bathtub with a thimble; that’s the challenge involved in moving information from working memory into long-term memory. When we read a book, the information faucet provides a steady drip, which we can control by varying the pace of our reading. Through our single-minded concentration on the text, we can transfer much of the information, thimbleful by thimbleful, into long-term memory and forge the rich associations essential to the creation of knowledge and wisdom. On the Net, we face many information faucets, all going full blast. Our little thimble overflows as we rush from tap to tap. We transfer only a small jumble of drops from different faucets, not a continuous, coherent stream

      This analogy would be great to use with students.

  • Because it disrupts concentration, such activity weakens comprehension
    • Amanda Baker
       
      With all the focus on reading scores on standardized tests, this is not a good sign! Kids need to practice reading critically for comprehension and deeper understanding. That won't happen if they are reading with all the extraneous tasks mentioned here.

      Good metaphor
  • “The current explosion of digital technology not only is changing the way we live and communicate,” Small concluded, “but is rapidly and profoundly altering our brains.”

      Rerouting your neural connections is not necessarily bad, just different.

Predicting Dyslexia - Even Before Children Learn to Read | MindShift - 0 views

    "Now, new research shows it's possible to pick up some of the signs of dyslexia in the brain even before kids learn to read. And this earlier identification may start to substantially influence how parents, educators and clinicians tackle the disorder."

    I found the comments on how we get emotions wrong very interesting. The idea that emotions effect intelligence and memory. How should I as an instructor use that information to provide learning experience to my students?

Brain Based Learning: Glynda Lee Hoffman at TEDxChico - 0 views

    Glynda Lee Hoffman mentioned the importance of the brain development in children's visual, auditory and motor processing. What I consonant the most with her work as a classroom teacher is that teacher might not able to understand the underlying reason for students' struggling. If we as a teacher could better understand the reason, we might be able to provide more personalized teaching to cater for students' need.
