Of the 5 senses, which one is most important? :

VISION :

Slide 15:

Sensory Integration :

Sensory Integration Our senses were designed to work together, so when they are combined in a learning environment the brain pays more attention and encodes the memory more robustly.Dr. John Medina, author of Brain Rules VISION Sensory integration creates an information rich environment that the brain laps up like ice cream!Dr. John Medina, author of Brain Rules Copyright 2010 Jay D'Ambrosio

A typical Power Point presentation… :

Facts about lions :

Redesigned in a “brain-friendly” format… :

Slide 25:

Why do some memories stay with us? :

Slide 27:

Slide 28:

Engage the emotions through story. :

Information is often taught in such a way that it lacks meaning for the student. Mathematics, for example, is presented as a series of equations and figures, but why these numbers and symbols are important is not explained. Yet the brain needs to attach significance to information in order to store it in long-term memory. :

Putting the story back into story problems… :

Terra read 5 books each day for one week. How many books did she read? :

Redesigned in a “brain-friendly” format… :

Terra sent Steve at least 5 text messages each day for one week. How many text messages did she send him? :

Slide 36:

Is there anything that can boost brain power? :

EXERCISE :

Are there any activities that we are naturally wired to do? :

Slide 40:

Our survival depended upon being able to gather information and see patterns in chaotic and unpredictable surroundings. :

Slide 42:

We are born with an incessant curiosity that compels us to aggressively explore our world. :
