Learning with Brains

Josh Kim talks about the brain and learning which discusses that brain research has progressed quite a bit in the last few years, and we know more about how the brain works now.

He has read these books:

Books I've read and enjoyed about the brain include:

--Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School, by John Medina. Check out Medina's great Web site.

--Welcome to Your Brain: Why You Lose Your Car Keys but Never Forget How to Drive and Other Puzzles of Everyday Life, by Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang.

--Kluge: The Haphazard Construction of the Human Mind, by Gary Marcus.

--Mind Wide Open, by Steven Johnson.

--The Female Brain, by Louann Brizendine, M.D.

and is asking for suggestions of any others that might help instructors teach (and students learn).
