Interviews - Clifford Nass | Digital Nation | FRONTLINE | PBS - 0 views

  • As a professor and as a teacher, we think a lot about how do you teach kids who can't pay attention or are distracted by irrelevancy or don't keep their memory neatly organized? It's a scary, scary thought.
  • So what we're seeing is less of a notion of a big idea carried through and much more little bursts and snippets. And we see that across media, across film, across, in Web sites, this idea of just do a little bit and then you can run away.
  • anytime you switch from one task to another, there's something called the "task switch cost," which basically, imagine, is I've got to turn off this part of the brain and turn on this part of the brain. And it's not free; it takes time.

  • One of the biggest delusions we hear from students is, "I do five things at once because I don't have time to do them one at a time." And that turns out to be false. That is to say, they would actually be quicker if they did one thing, then the next thing, then the next. It may not be as fun, but they'd be more efficient.

Smartphones Don't Make Us Dumb - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Paying attention requires not just ability but desire. Technology may snuff out our desire to focus.
  • But there’s little evidence that attention spans are shrinking. Scientists use “span” to mean two separate things: how much we can keep in mind, and how well we can maintain focus.

    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.

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

shared by Ting Mi on 24 Oct 15 - No Cached
  •  
    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.
