Instruction West 2014
• Personal use of technology – PC and iOS – Fully loaded computer labs – iPads in instruction – iPad campus initiative
She’s really not a luddite. Really.
• Recent research re: student learning, technology & neuroscience
• iPad initiative • Instruction listserv threads • Conversations w/colleagues after
conferences – unable to recall many sessions
Interest in Topic?
• Hand to Brain Connection • Movement • Multitasking/Distraction
Relationship to student learning ande memory/recall Bloom’s Taxonomy – Begin with the ability to Remember
Technology, Learning and the Brain
• Hand to Brain Connection – Writing
• Stimulates Reticular Activating System (RAS). Filter of the brain’s information processing system
• Increases memory of factual detail • Increases ability to synthesize and generalize
information • Increases conceptual understanding
– Typing • Stimulates language processing center
– Drawing • Stimulates creativity & engagement, perhaps higher
cognitive functions
Technology, Learning and the Brain
• Movement – Increases blood flow/oxygen to brain – Increases connections among neurons – Increases attention on task at hand – Encourages active participate – Increases positive social interactions – Releases excess energy and redirects
focus
Technology, Learning and the Brain
• Multitasking/Distraction – Only 3-5% of population can multitask
effectively – In general, everyone performs best when
focused on one task at a time – When using laptops, 40-46% students fall
off task and are less satisfied with learning experience (Mueller, Oppenheimer study)
– Chronic multi-taskers exhibit lowered cognitive control
Technology, Learning and the Brain
• Active learning Something other than mimicking a sample search on a computer Activities which engage students in critical inquiry and problem solving; student centered work or discovery
Technology, Learning and the Brain
Mind mapping Writing thesis statement/research question Scholarly vs popular Citation puzzle Colored note cards White board lists Worksheets (carbon paper*) Keywording Abstracts Highlighters Blank floor maps/Ethnographer for an hour LC Call order numbering
*Carbonless paper allows students to take a copy with
them, leaving librarian a copy to use for assessment
Examples in the classroom
Your ideas???
Examples in the classroom
• What it means for students – Affective aspect – Active participation – Need to understand expectations
• What it means for instructors – More planning and preparation – Guide on side, NOT sage on stage – Setting expectations
