Hello everyone! Today it's my pleasure to bring you my conversation with Jared Cooney Horvath, a cognitive neuroscientist based out of the University of Melbourne specializing in human thought, learning and brain stimulation. Without a doubt, this is one of the best episodes of the Teach Me, Teacher podcast. In this episode, we dive deep into the brain science behind how students learn, retain, and apply the information we give them in our classes. In part one of our talk, we hit on everything from the role of technology in learning (how it hurts and helps), why note taking can be powerful, and how physical print media can be such a boon when reading longer texts. Of course, there is more than this sprinkled in this episode, but you'll have to listen to get the rest! When you're done with this episode, please check out Jared's work here and support him by buying his book! I've read it twice, and it is amazing every time. If you'd like to win a copy of his book, make sure to sign up for the Teach Me, Teacher email list this week and next! I'll be choosing two winners. Enjoy!
