Boys and Girls Learn Differently

This was an interesting presentation.  In other classes I've taken, I've learned about the differences between boys and girls, but it was interesting to see that put into a purely educational light.  Boys and girls are definitely not the same, and I think it might be beneficial for schools to explore things like making classes same-gender.  I would like to see some more research on whether or not that actually works, but I think it might be beneficial to students to at least try it out and see what happens.  I think more and more research is coming out on this subject all the time, and it would be nice to find out more about it!

Becoming a "Wiz" at Brain-Based Learning

I thought this presentation was so much fun!  I really liked how they went really far in creating a nice environment for us to learn in.  That really helped.  I loved the matching game.  It was a lot of fun, and it really got me thinking about how I could use a matching game in a History class.  But each of the stations was really helpful, and I learned a lot from the presentation!

A Whole New Mind

This was a really nice presentation!  I especially liked the links in the Story and Play parts of the presentation.  With the Story links, Amanda, I definitely think those could be awesome for an English class, although I'm sure you already knew that!  And Justin, I definitely liked the part on video games.  I think they can help kids a lot.  And I also liked the other parts too Erin and Darcie!  Overall, a great presentation, thanks!
