Intermission




7 more individuals have joined our question to understand the book How Learning Works... I am excited to read the intuitive foresight and grand background knowledge each brings through his or her blog. While the books are being distributed and others have the opportunity to read, I though I would begin to delve into other resources to help me connect with the content in the book. The pattern for me is the beginning of the title...How Learning Works...
     I was looking for information to help write a short speech which will be given to students in the school of education. I wanted to sound pithy and intelligent (both take  a lot of preparation for me!). In looking I found an  RSA Animate video called the divided brain. I watched the video and had so many questions I wasn't sure were the patterns of learning begin and end. How will I use this information to expand my thoughts and rationale? Can I use these facts and explanation to enhance my teaching or presentations?
 The link is below....I would love to discuss the topic of the divided brain and what you think it means to how learning works......

I await your thoughts!

  1. Excellent RSA Animate on The Divided Brain. It is amazing what we are learning about "learning" from all the recent brain research. -Mark

  2. I know there is a lot of information about this particular topic, my struggle is to find a road and stay on it for a while. It seems to me that learning about learning is a lot like our brains, it just keeps making new connections which lead to new ideas and inquiry.
