Feeling Brilliant?

Here are several articles by Annie Murphy Paul posted on Mind/Shift. You can also check out her research at The Brilliant Blog http://anniemurphypaul.com/blog/.

Why Teaching Helps Students Learn More Deeply

 http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/07/why-teaching-helps-students-learn-more-deeply/

  Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who are learning only for their own sake.

http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/06/the-case-for-preserving-the-pleasure-of-deep-reading/

How Does Multitasking Change the Way Kids Learn?

http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/05/how-does-multitasking-change-the-way-kids-learn/ 

Listening to a lecture while texting, or doing homework and being on Facebook—each of these tasks is very demanding, and each of them uses the same area of the brain, the prefrontal cortex. 

How to Stimulate Curiosity

http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/04/how-to-stimulate-curiosity/

Curiosity is the engine of intellectual achievement—it’s what drives us to keep learning, keep trying, keep pushing forward.
