We are all smart in our own ways!
10. Brain Based Approachesto Looking at Learning
11. Constructivism: We construct meaning about the world by connection it to something we already understand.
Transfer of Learning: Using what we know to figure something else out.
Memory:There are different types of memory and different ways to both put information in memory and to retrieve it.Emotion plays a big part on how memories are stored and recalled.
Metacognition: Setting own goals and reflecting on own progress.Active learning.
Motivation:Affects the amount of attention the student gives to the situation.
