Love them or hate them, watching movies/ playing games allow us to learn at light-speed. That means, using them as a tool in teaching is a no-brainer. Every day we see how this medium dictates what we believe and how it influences behavior for better and for worse. Our future is dependent upon the “viewers” learning how to verify accuracy, and the future of learning depends upon the willingness to harness what engages. I don’t like that this is better than traditional, but if we use it they get it faster we we maximize instruction time. Writing, reading, math, speaking using games/TV/movie/documentary could revolutionize learning!
For this independent study, you will be asked to complete the reading that you have chosen (a copy of the reading will be provided with purchase), then answer a series of questions about: the content, how you’ve applied the reading, and the related outcomes you have observed in your respective field.

“Must read!
I always leave Kim’s classes feeling excited and ready to put theory into practice, and this book followed that same idea. She breaks down concepts about how the brain works and what it needs so that classroom teachers (actually, everybody) can immediately implement the strategies. She makes learning about the brain and neuroscience fun and applicable.” Stacey J Budaj
