2. Overview / Not all people learn the same / In recognizing differences, we can become more effective teachers / The use of proper methods can develop meaning & increase retention for students / Not all people learn the same / In recognizing differences, we can become more effective teachers / The use of proper methods can develop meaning & increase retention for students

21. Effect of Arts on Learning / Brain likes color / Brain likes tactile activities / Allowing students to create in class promotes higher order thinking skills (tip top of Bloom’s taxonomy) / Reach your right brain students! / Brain likes color / Brain likes tactile activities / Allowing students to create in class promotes higher order thinking skills (tip top of Bloom’s taxonomy) / Reach your right brain students!

22. MUSIC / Intellectual/emotional stimulation / Activates neural networks in frontal cortex & amygdala / Choose the right music though!!! -Sousa p. 221-229 http://imagecache.allposters.com/images/pic/GAN/OSB-20~Music-Notes-I-Posters.jpg

23. Conclusion / By understanding brain functions, we can more accurately pinpoint how to teach specific students / Recognizing differences in how the brain learns can make us more effective educators / By understanding brain functions, we can more accurately pinpoint how to teach specific students / Recognizing differences in how the brain learns can make us more effective educators
