Are we all learning scientists?

Denise Ford

Tracey Tokuhama-Espinosa says that we are all learning scientists.  As educators, we are uniquely positioned to change the brains of those we teach. That's why I'm really looking forward to the webinar on Wednesday "Why Neuroeducation Matters."  

It seems every ancient civilization thrived on storytelling. I'm curious how the brain responds to stories. Anyone have any research on this?

  • I have read research on this before. I don't have anything at my fingertips.

    One of the articles I have my Senior English students read is called "Your Story Telling Brain". It's in a module where we look at generational relationships and how stories keep the coherence to our memories. We may misremember details, but stories will hold up over time.

    Perhaps that is one of the reasons I love Big History Project as the framework for world history with my students. It is presented as a narrative that fits together logically over time. Connections between and among historical concepts and events become bigger than life (OK, pun intended).

    I am eager to attend the Webinar and learn more!
