Brain Based Teaching - Book Talk

I really liked this presentation. I thought that (for the most part) it was very upbeat and interesting. I think that learning about the brain and how it affects my teaching and learning is very important.

Some things that I really enjoyed about the presentation were :

* The Handouts

I thought that these were very informative and helped me remember the presentation.

* The Stuffed Animals

I think that this was very clever and it REALLY did help me remember the parts of the brain. Although now I just think of the as the Hippo and Armadillo !

* The Back- Burner Activity

I really liked this idea and I thought that it was fun. I would use this in my classroom. I think that my students could really benefit from the teacher acknowledging that they have other things going on in their lives.


Overall I think that this book was full of information and the team did a great job presenting it.
