Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Is that why my head hurts? :)

Thanks, Ellen!

I really enjoyed Tom's blog, thanks for sharing. My sister, Dorothy, was sharing with me her perspectives on Plato's Seventh Book of the Republic, The Cave. She felt that as we gain knowledge, we have an obligation to share that knowledge with others. As we fulfill an obligation to share knowledge, we are rewarded with ... greater knowledge. What a wonderful thought.

What I find disturbing about this graphic is that our schools systems seem to rely heavily on the least effective learning methods!

Warren, I had never made that connection about the reward, and it makes me think I need to read Plato's Cave again -- that is another way of saying what this neuro-research shows. It seems to me that we also gain more when we teach others in ways that they teach us at the same time too. Would you agree. Thanks for the insight... and do thank Dorothy too.

Ann, I was reading today about a new Internet site where teachers can now sell their lessons and lectures. My comment -- "student should be the ones who stick a price on these..." I have written books on what it would take for secondary and college changes, based on working more with human brains... and fortunately because of thinkers who are saying it like you do -- things are changing slowing. Would you agree?
