Brain Rules# 4 ATTENTION

The video above explains the ten minute rule......
                                                            Reading and Thinking:
The more attention the brain pays to a given stimulus, the more elaborate the information will be encoded and retained.  We don't pay attention to things that are boring, which can affect learning.  I always heard of the ten minute rule, and it works.  I use it in my classroom all the time.  Lecture for ten minutes and then show some type of presentation or class discussion. 





Technology Reflection
Mindomo is an interesting tool to use for mapping.  I have to be honest and say that I am not a master at it yet.  This takes practice.  It took so long to get my point across and it didn't help that I am a little OCD when it comes to things being even and flowing well.  I can't say that this is one of my favorites thus far, but it is useful.  Would I try it again? Of course!
