"David Wilcox, of Musings on the Middle Years of Education, http://bit.ly/1cWl2of ; and I have worked together to create an infographic about the teen brain. It is based on a blog post he wrote over a year ago (Click here for that post) http://davidw.edublogs.org/2012/10/15/forgetfulness-in-teens/ to tackle the issue of Why Teens Forget. Through lots of research, checking facts, and rechecking facts, we have found that teens forgetfulness may be due to major changes in their brain. These changes can last into the college years.
While there is research that demonstrates the increased forgetfulness of “teens,” we also found that research suggests this time period is an awesome explosion of learning and discovery that takes them into adulthood."

Some relevance for teeenage students
Thanks for this Beth. I will add this to my tutorials for students. It is very helpful, Audrey. Also have a look at www.hotmoodle.com.
I plan to share this at the School Accountability meeting I am chairing next week. We have a standing agenda item - the middle school student. This is a great resource and in a great format to start conversations at school and home.
