BRAIN GAMES

Research has shown that constant stimulation of the brain helps students be able to grasp and retain information.  Most of my classes will begin with some form of brain stimulation prior to delivery of any material that is required for the student to retain.  This stimulation can come in form of review/quiz on the material, or completely irrelevant work offered by some other medium.  Below are some links to other outside work I utilize or adapt to fit my class.

Although there are plenty more ideas for brain stimulation in this form, the study of neuroscience develops well beyond brain teasers.  Everything from the color of the room, to the color of the instructor's shirt can have an effect on the students reception of material.  Brain based learning is an evolving field that gives teachers in any domain the opportunity to enhance the student's ability to succeed.
