This week I attended back-to-back conferences on learning and the brain. The first was held at my favorite art-place, the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore. I got a few tips on how to space my study hours and what not to say about “learning styles.” You can see my giant story on it on the Dana site:
Busting Some of the Myths of Attention: Multitasking, ADHD, and optimal study times were among the topics as scientists and educators shared their expertise during the “Attention and Engagement in Learning” summit this week.
The second event was the 3-day Learning & the Brain conference, held at the Capitol Hill Hyatt in DC. The topic this year also was attention and motivation; I learned a lot more science this year than the one last year. Another writer is doing the story on that one, but I’ll have some short stuff for the blogs later on it.
