Week 2 Blog Assignment

This week' reading on the brain and learning were both challenging and enlightening. In order to continue studying this weeks topic I have chosed to bookmark the following two websites:

1) http://brainconnection.positscience.com/
I believe this site will be a valuable resource because it contains information on how the brain is connected to education as well as providing a library with category-specific listings of articles, news, interviews, reviews, and interactive resources.

2) http://ozpk.tripod.com/brain.html
I believe this site will be a valuable resource because it contains 29 different topics related to the brain an learning. Some the topics covered are:

• News from the Neurosciences articles
• Susan Kovalik & Associates - Brain-compatible Integrated Thematic Instuction (ITI) information and resources
• ERIC Abstracts on BRAIN-BASED LEARNING
• The BrainCompatible Teaching and Learning Equation
• SURPRISING TRUTHS: IMPLICATIONS OF BRAIN RESEARCH
• All Our Students Thinking -- Any subject—be it physics, art, or auto repair—can promote critical thinking as long as teachers teach in intellectually challenging ways.
• Whole Brain Teaching
• Brain Research and Effective Teaching
