How Your Brain Learns and Remembers

This is a wonderful presentation designed by Diana Hestwood and Linda Russell (of Minneapolis Community & Technical College). After last year's presentation about "the emerging adult brain" I asked Diana if there was an existing presentation that we could use to explain the brain science to students when we go back to our classrooms. This year, Diana held a workshop to help us implement the teaching of brain science in the classroom, and part of that was this PowerPoint presentation.

Here are three versions of the file to be used in your classroom:

  • PowerPoint file (here)
  • A URL that will run directly on the Internet with animations (here)
  • PDF version which will run on cell phones and just about anything (here)

Any questions?  Email Diana Hestwood here.
