Power lifting for the brain • Social interactions benefit the brain (Katz, Duke University, 2005) • Higher-level, big picture learning is important (Chapman, University of Texas at Dallas, 2005) • Human brains are attracted to novelty “…feed your brain thinking TV, such as history documentaries, in which you must incorporate new information into what you know…” –Guy McKhan, Johns Hopkins University (2005)
Are we Vidiots? • Larry Cuban, Stanford University (December 2001) “Two decades after the introduction of personal computers in the nation, with more and more schools being wired, and billions of dollars being spent, less than two of every ten teachers are serious users of computers in their classrooms (several times a week). Three to four are occasional users (about once a month). The rest--four to five teachers of every ten teachers--never use the machines for instruction. When the type of use is examined, these powerful technologies end up being used most often for word processing and low-end applications in classrooms that maintain rather than alter existing teaching practices. After all the machines, money, and promises the results are meager.”
