  1. Learning and the BrainSeminar 2

  2. Goals for This Seminar • What can learning about ‘learning networks’ teach us about how we learn? • How can we connect our learning about ‘learning networks’ to our experiences to gain a better understanding of ourselves as learners? • Based on our understanding of ‘learning networks’ and ourselves as learners, what strategies can we adopt to help us with the process of learning?

  3. THINK-PUZZLE-EXPLORE • What do you think you know about learning and the brain? • What questions or puzzles do you have? • What does the topic make you want to explore?

  4. The Learning Networks Recent neurological findings confirm three interconnected systems in the learning brain: Recognition networks know what and where an object is. Strategic networks know how to do things. Affective networks know which objects and actions are important.

  5. The Science Behind Learning • Are specialized to sense and assign meaning to patterns we observe. • Enable us to identify and understand information, ideas, and concepts. Recognition Networks http://www.oln.org/teaching_and_learning/ada/Fame/udl/v2_18_173_79.html

  6. Patterns of Brain Activity Thinking words Reading words Hearing Words Saying words Activity is highest in red areas and then decreases through the other colors of the rainbow from yellow to blue-violet. The positron emission tomography (PET) scan shows typical patterns of brain activity associated with:

  9. The Science Behind Learning http://www.oln.org/teaching_and_learning/ada/Fame/udl/v2_18_173_81.html • Are specialized to evaluate patterns and assign them emotional significance. • Enable us to engage with tasks and learning and with the world around us. Affective networks

  10. SEE-THINK-WONDER

  11. Can we trust our brain? Discuss your reactions with a partner!

  12. Illusions

  13. Illusions

  14. So what is your reaction? What can we deduce from these experiences? Discuss with a partner some of your thoughts.
