Can you imagine driving a race car with only bicycle brakes to stop you? In this digital age, our students’ brains have been trained like race cars by the volume and speed of information that they have been processing since a very young age. But what happens when they must slow down and process information in a non-digital setting, like a classroom? In this course you will learn how to identify the effects of digital media on students and how to apply proven methods for adding depth and complexity to your AP and pre-AP classrooms.

  1. David – PHARR-SAN JUAN-ALAMO ISD (verified owner) –

    I learned that students who sleep listening to music and with their cell phones close by interrupt their sleep cycle which prohibits the processing of new information into long term memory. I enjoyed the lesson and it enabled me to generate ideas on how to review with my students.

  2. Jefferson – SOUTHWEST ISD (verified owner) –

    Conflicting information on questioning strategies

  3. Dean – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –

    The course provides some good info on differentiating between the two types of brain learners and some activity ideas that could be used.

    Brings a lot of information, most of which is on cognitive performance.
