HI, Jim
Thanks for the recommendation regarding information on brain research.
I found a TED talk by Janet Zadina, the person you recommended, and enjoyed its common sense approach to ideas she presented.

Tbers,

I’m always a bit reluctant to post what could be considered an advertisement to this list, but while at a conference in Austin, TX I listened to an excellent presentation by Dr. Janet Zadina. Some of you might be curious about her work in brain science and how it might illuminate learning possibilities for us.

I’ve ordered a copy of her “Six Weeks to a Brain-Compatible Classroom” and will let you all know when it is in so you can take a look if you want.
