While there are plenty of apps for students to consider, there are quite a few their parents or teachers may love as well!

Lou Salza's curator insight,
June 18, 7:55 AM
The consequences of over selling preliminary research data is that proven practice gets over looked. Brook's assertion that the brain is not the mind is important. Let's all shake some salt over images of brain scans--and not allow colleagues to promote them to brain-scams.--Lou Excerpt: "..What Satel and Lilienfeld call “neurocentrism” is an effort to take the indeterminacy of life and reduce it to measurable, scientific categories. Right now we are compelled to rely on different disciplines to try to understand behavior on multiple levels, with inherent tensions between them. Some people want to reduce that ambiguity by making one discipline all-explaining. They want to eliminate the confusing ambiguity of human freedom by reducing everything to material determinism. But that is the form of intellectual utopianism that always leads to error. An important task these days is to harvest the exciting gains made by science and data while understanding the limits of science and data. .."

Three cheers for David Brooks! We want to divide, map and conquer the brain. And then there is the mind--a whole different element altogether. I'm tired of the brain-scans, too, Lou. Misinformation is being applied in too many classrooms, and in society. Thanks for posting! The brain is fluid, extremely complex and, as Brooks points out, does not speak for the mind.

A good word of caution: that new studies and insights are unlikely to explain everything. And despite some of the comments after this article, the idea that the mind IS the brain is at best still very controversial. -Lon Delete the scoop?

I recently studied mirror neurons. Mirror neurons explain why we react when we watch sporting events and why we can have empathy for people. This article gives you an overview of how our brain impacts our emotional intelligence. However, this PBS video provides a great visual preference if you'd rather watch a short video, http://video.pbs.org/video/1615173073/ In any case, I ami ntrigued how understanding these neruons can provide insight for us as to how we should we engage people in gamification and mlearning experiences.

This is such an interesting article I don't know where to begin! Given we have so many school programs related to social and emotional wellbeing (e.g. CASEL, Kindness is Contagious, etc), with empathy being a very prominent player, this article helps us understand varying emotional reactions and think about the differences between urban dwellers, who are much, much less connected to nature, and everyone else.

Very useful insight into how we guide and educate our youth. Interesting idea of "situation creator" as well, creating opportunities to belong, seeing that we are stronger being connected than on our own.

My favorite part of the video talks about how a zebra would never understand why we use the same bodily reactions to deal with public speaking as it uses for surviving an attack from a lion. Delete the scoop?
