My biggest take away was that there are so many parts of the brain that take control of different tasks.
2. A fact I found interesting was that the first brain layer is 500 million years old.
3. When we are scared our brain is unable to learn which will make it hard for students to focus in class and understand the material. ]]> 2020-08-25 17:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697906576 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907282 My biggest take away were how in the brain there is different sections of signals. Some of stress, anxiety and many more. I think that the most interesting fact I read was that when our brain sees a signal of us being in another room, and there's different people we don't know, background, and culture it sends a clear signal to our brains.The way the body reacts when it is scared, it just shuts down. Even if you are in a class you become uncomfortable and that sends big signal to that part of the brain. ]]> 2020-08-25 17:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907282 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907572 My biggest take away is that we need to make people feel included so they feel more welcomed. I learned how much the enviornment in the classroom can affect people's brains. In class we need to make people feel welcomed and accept their ideas. ]]> 2020-08-25 17:09:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907572 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907708 my biggest takeaway was that different parts of the brain signal different emotions like stress or anxiety]]> 2020-08-25 17:09:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907708 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907842 My biggest takeaway was that the brain has many parts and there are many roles that they play. I think the most interesting part is that only mammals have a limbic layer. If your brain gets scared, stress hormones will be released, making you anxious; making learning very hard.]]> 2020-08-25 17:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907842 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907980 - My biggest takeaway has to be that we want people to feel accepted, so we treat them well and make them comfortable in the classroom.
- The most interesting fact I learned is that we have lizard brains :)
- Our brain, when scared, turns off learning and creative thinking to go into defensive mode.]]> 2020-08-25 17:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907980 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907992 Signals of stress are sent to the body that makes it hard for you to learn.  When your in a unwelcoming environment the brain will experience anxiety. ]]> 2020-08-25 17:09:56 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697907992 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697908415 -My biggest takeaway was that the brain has a stress/fear override and to prevent this from happening to other students we need to be accepting. 
-One of the most interesting things I learned was that the brain can shut off that easily if we get scared or stressed.

The RAS is apart of the brain where it's only about reaction. Attention and Alertness. The Amygdala has the authority to bypass the brain’s communication dispatch hub in the thalamus and send distress signals directly to the lizard brain in the form of the stress hormone cortisol.]]> 2020-08-25 17:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697909307 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697910151 My biggest take away is that our brain observers our environment 24/7 for any change.
An interesting fact that i read was that the "lizard brain" is always on even when we're asleep.
When a person is in a unwelcomed environment it send info to the brain which cause anxiety ]]> 2020-08-25 17:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697910151 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697910349 We already experience a lot of stress and anxiety in our lives so it's important that we can at least feel welcome and supported in our classes.]]> 2020-08-25 17:10:29 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697910349 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697913020 The fact that the Amygdala reacts to a social or physical threat in less than a second is very interesting. ]]> 2020-08-25 17:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697913020 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697913055 My biggest takeaway was that the brain has so many different parts and every part is used for different actions]]> 2020-08-25 17:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697913055 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697913884 My biggest takeaway is that the brain is extremely complex. Different parts of the brain have different reactions than other parts. When we are scared our brain release cortisol causing other functions to come to a halt. I will try to be calm in class so I can have a constant creative flow.]]> 2020-08-25 17:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697913884 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697913949 -Wesley king ]]> 2020-08-25 17:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697913949 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697915100 My biggest take away from the reading is that our brains sense different environments whether that be online or in person, and that affects our reactions and learning capabilities]]> 2020-08-25 17:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697915100 owenlowery1 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697916061 The takeaway I got from the article was that our brains have an override whenever we feel in danger emotionally, physically, or mentally. When that override kicks in, we loose the ability to learn and focus. This is why it is so important to have a safe learning environment so that that override does not kick in and everyone in the environment is able to learn. The most interesting fact in for me was that when you are in 'danger' the override will take over all brain functions. As a result of this I will be mindful of what I am doing and saying to ensure that everyone is guaranteed a safe learning environment. ]]> 2020-08-25 17:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697916061 sophiascholz https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697919051 My biggest take away is that the environment I'm in affects the way my brain behaves]]> 2020-08-25 17:12:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697919051 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697920621 My biggest takeaway was how if you’re afraid or someone puts you in an unsafe position your brain kind of stops and then you’re uncomfortable and unable to learn. I thought it was interesting how your brain takes less than a second to react. When you’re scared your brain shuts off and the fear takes over and now you can’t really learn/think, so I will make sure that I do not make uncomfortable comments.]]> 2020-08-25 17:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697920621 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697925395 my biggest takeaway is that the brain has different parts and every part has a different role ]]> 2020-08-25 17:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697925395 https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697933262 my biggest takeaway is that when in a hostile environment the brain will send hormones throughout the body that creates stress and anxiety, and that this is especially common if you are a person of a marginalized group.]]> 2020-08-25 17:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/gbacker/7e0ru1e6lorq3j7g/wish/697933262
