Evaluating and Identifying Online Resources

This week we will discuss the brain and its correlation with learning, and the information process learning theory. 

ASTD

The American Society for Training and Development has an excellent publication of the sophistication of the brain and how it helps us to learn. Activate engagement is a concept that was emphasized in the article. It explains how our neural connections are fundamental for learning to take place in the brain.  We must stimulate our brain to consciously retain the information.


Learning and The Brain

I chose to review this site because it is a collection of research provided by educators, researchers, psychologist, and etc. It is an organization that provides extensive research and seminars about the brain and its association with learning. They explore learning and the brain regarding its implications to education. This is a fascinating concept for me because they all work simultaneously together. This type of research can lead to developments that will help school systems and teachers prepare curriculum to enhance education.
