Re: Wiring the brain, through experience
In response to a Harvard University release summarized by Brain Mysteries: Re: Wiring the brain, through experience Whether our brain’s ‘wiring’ starts minimal and extends through learning or starts maximal and is pruned by learning is less important to our common understanding than ‘getting’ that (to a profoundly significantly degree) our brain’s wiring is learned.

And, it’s always been true that what each generation profoundly affects the generations that follow. The […]

Re: Kids’ Cognition Is Changing—Education Will Have to Change With It
Re: Kids’ Cognition Is Changing—Education Will Have to Change With It (The Atlantic 2-29-12) Real educational reform must start with reforming the very mission of education. In the face of the ever increasing rate of techno-social-workplace changes taking place we have to stop assuming that ‘what we think children should learn is more important than […]

Re: Forbes Spotlights Neuroeducation as Top trend
The post asks: Will the science of the brain give us new ways to engage with kids to improve their chances for lifelong learning?
