The Conversation

In this episode, I talk to Jonathan, who teaches math and STEM in Brooklyn, and Jennifer, who is a media specialist in Florida. We discuss what neuroscience tells us about what happens to our brain when we learn, and why our brain can sometimes cause us to misperceive the world. Our readings are: Chapter 5 of Bransford, Brown, and Cocking (2000) How People Learn, Chapter 3 of CAST (2014) Universal Design for Learning: Theory and Practice, and Shane Parrish's interview with Barbara Oakley on learning how to learn.
