Neuroscience for Teaching by Elske Ammenwerth https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8 Describe here how you already use results from cognitive neuroscience in your teaching, or which elements you plan to include in the future. en-us 2017-07-20 19:28:09 UTC 2017-08-07 03:25:27 UTC hello@padlet.com I try to explain the relevance of the topic to my students at the beginning of a lecture ... elske_ammenwerth1 https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/179143017 2017-07-20 19:29:38 UTC https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/179143017 Novelty (Martha): In the bridge for my guest lectures in undergrad classes, I can start with an unexpected word or activity. For example, I have a card game that we play about finding good sources rather than giving a lecture. https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/180003579 2017-08-03 02:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/180003579 zhudan2006 https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/180058688 Ceci: I use a lot of visual signals instead of words in my class. I also like to use colour coding on Google Read and Write.]]> 2017-08-03 16:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/180058688 https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/180060740 I really enjoyed the video and particularly the implications for teaching mentioned near the end. I found it reassuring that I use some of those practices, such as colours and visuals for emphasizing "perceived importance" and lots of kinesthetic activities to increase "movement." I think I'm more keenly aware of intensity now and will try to incorporate more sounds during my instruction, which I think will also increase novelty!
Thanks for the interesting presentation! - Victoria ]]> 2017-08-03 17:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/180060740 https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/180202273 One of the main gains we've gotten from the neurosciences, I think, is the connection of stress to our ability to learn -- the amygdala shutting down its switching station when our brains are in fight or flight mode, and the fact that not only fear, but also boredom, causes this. Huge implications for learning design, and a clue about where to start. I.E., if students are stressed and/or not engaged at the outset, subsequent learning design efforts and tricks will be wasted.]]> 2017-08-06 17:59:04 UTC https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/180202273 https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/180232632 I use the results from cognitive neuroscience in my work everyday at CAST, pioneers of the Universal Design for Learning framework, based in the knowledge the neurosciences have given us around how all learners are variable. I work alongside learning scientists to design learning environments and tools for experimental research to further evolve the framework. – Kim]]> 2017-08-07 03:21:03 UTC https://padlet.com/elske_ammenwerth1/y4aqwidgljs8/wish/180232632
