  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
