"Recent neuroscientific findings have uncovered the source of our motivation to learn, or as neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp terms it, the drive to seek. Seeking is what gets us out of bed in the morning, the engine that powers our actions, and the need that manifests as curiosity."

every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others.”

  I find that this statement is particularly true of myself and my learners. We tend to learn well in a particular mode when we first learn about how that mode works best, have it modeled, practice it. When we have left that mode and come back to it after having left it for a while (two weeks or more), we tend to need more guidance with that mode on how to use it effectively. Like everything else in teaching, model, model, model and everything in moderation.

We’ve always skimmed newspapers more than we’ve read them, and we routinely run our eyes over books and magazines to get the gist of a piece of writing and decide whether it warrants more thorough reading

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

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.
