with Dr. G. Christian Jernstedt

Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 9:00 - 3:30                at the Burke Mountain Room at LSC

Workshop cost: $150.00

The Neurological Foundations of Learning:

    Appreciating the uniqueness and power of the brain.

1. ✦The greatest of the frontiers to be explored lies within each of us. New understandings of the brain provide fresh insights into the process of how we learn. In this session, we review what we know about the brain and how that information can inspire us to develop new ways of learning.
   

The Cognitive Foundations of Learning:

    Helping the mind deal with the stream of information.

1. ✦The human mind has far more power than is typically used. In this session, we examine exciting research on increasing the ability to lean and remember that can help dramatically improve our design of learning experiences.
