Student Brains: Navigating the Jungle of Neuronal Networks
Submitted by joycetheriot on Fri, 11/06/2009 - 5:43pmThe Art of Changing the Brain by James Zull has been my "brain bible" (so to speak) this year. I keep it with me all the time to help me design strategies. Zull discusses the Neural Networks that our students develop and biologically keep all their lives so therefore teachers can't erase background knowledge. A possible tactic is to find out what they are thinking and how they explain a particular phenomenon and then help them make critical new connections.
