Brain Plasticity
ConstructivistLearning Connectedness
Neu ro plas tic ity• Neuroplasticity is re-wiring
of brain pathways• Neurogenesis is growth of
new neural networks
1. Beginning of life when the immature brain develops
2. Through adulthood when something new is learned
3. In case of brain injury to compensate for lost functions
My Questions
1. What are specific examples of how the increasing knowledge of brain plasticity might be practically applied to learning and public education for students ages 5-25.
2. How can we employ technology to take advantage of the positive aspects of brain plasticity?
Mental Practice Alters the Brain
Digitally Altered Brains
A. We remain largely ignorant of how the internet is changing us.
Q. Is Google making us stupid?
