Technology, Teaching and the Brain Jeff Goodman Appalachian State University Department of Curriculum and Instruction What is technology? Who is Jeff Goodman? What is the brain? What is teaching? cyberbrain.jpg

The word technology suggests the study of techniques. Technology is the systematic application of scientific or of organized knowledge to practical tasks. John Kenneth Galbraith

Teaching is the craft of changing the brain.

The Brain Weight: 1.35 kg (~3 pounds)

The Brain Neurons: 100 billion (It would take you 5000 years to count them, 1 per second, 16 hours a day.) Synapses: Average of 10,000 per cell = 1,000,000,000,000,000 (It would take you 50 million years to count them all.)

How does the mind work?

Historically, metaphors for the mind have been drawn from the technology of the day.

We are born with many neural pathways in our brains hooked up. When we learn, we are strengthening connections that already exist. Multiple pathways are active together.

Our brains are the way they are for a reason: what they do naturally has been successful in evolutionary history.

Unfortunately, many of the things we need to do in the modern world were not present in our evolutionary history.

To say we have “learned” something or “know” something can mean many different things.

Luckily, our brains excel at generating abstractions from concrete experience.

Our brains and our bodies are intimately connected and interdependent.

Our success as a species required us to work in groups. Our brains are strongly wired for social interaction and emotion.

The brain is always making choices about what to attend to. Attention impacts not only learning, but life in general. “My experience is what I agree to attend to.” -William James

Change Blindness 2

While we often act as though teaching and learning are logical, rationale processes, a great deal is going on in the brain of which we are not conscious.

Moreover, conceptual, empathetic and creative (right brain) processes are increasingly important in the world.
