Building Curiosity - YouTube

From www.youtube.com - December 3, 2014 10:05 PM

"My tribute to Curiosity, both the NASA rover and the human desire to discover, featuring words from some of science's greatest minds and LEGO's special edition Mars rover set."

Beth Dichter's insight:

This video, from PBS, explores curiosity. What makes one curious? Listen to a number of people describe why people may be curious. This video is inspiring and may lead some students in your class to think of curiosity and science in a new way.

Why is My Teen So Forgetful?

Why is My Teen So Forgetful? | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From anethicalisland.wordpress.com - December 3, 2013 9:44 PM
David Wilcox, of Musings on the Middle Years of Education, 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 ...
Beth Dichter's insight:

Do you understand the teen brain? This infographic explains how "teens forgetfulness may be due to major changes in their brain. These changes can last into the college years."

This is a long infographic with three sections. Section 2 looks at the question "Why is my teen so forgetful?" and Section 3 will provide ideas on how you may help your teen. Although designed for parents this is  a great infographic for teachers to gain a better understanding of the current research on teens and their brains. The final section of the infographic provides references. You may download this as a single file or download each section independently.

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.
