Description
Today’s students live in a media-saturated world. Their brains are constantly bombarded with sensory information and research shows it has affected the way they learn and process information. Educators need creative strategies and innovative ideas for engaging students, particularly those in the AP and pre-AP classes, in order to make them college and career ready.
In this 1-hour course, you will learn:
- How students’ interaction with digital media affects their brains
- The structured Think-Pair-Share method
- Auditory/sequential and visual/spatial processing
- How the brain supports many types of learning
- R.A.F.T. & Think-Tac-Toe activities
This course is aligned with 2016 ODE Teacher Competencies a, b, c, f, g and NAGC Teacher Preparation Standards 3.1, 5.1, 5.2.

Some of the data is old and outdated; much time is spent on reviewing types of hemispheres and multi-modal learning but I would prefer more time spent on activity examples.

So informative!

Contained a lot of irrelevant information – is not what I was expecting based on the title of the module.
Adam – MIAMI EAST LOCAL (verified owner) –

This course digs deeply into the Right brain learner’s style and preferences:)
Penny – VIDOR ISD (verified owner) –
This made so much sense! I knew that they dealt with information differently than students did before (my 34th year to teach) but didn’t really know how to adjust. These are some good tools that I want to use.
Kristin – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
The presenter was fairly pedantic and pretty free with his judgement of parents and students, and his assessment was based on archaic ideas as opposed to identifying how the world has changed (that part was okay) and how we adapt to it as teachers (his seemed to be from that of a luddite – this part was not okay at all).
Maria – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –
I really like how the presenter explained today’s kids ways of learning.
Carlos – TULOSO-MIDWAY ISD (verified owner) –
Very informative on different learns styles, good information for student activity to use.
