What a Group!

This week,we had to get in our groups and come up with a lesson plan for our assigned Cognative Learning Theory and then present it to the class. The theories discussed were Behavioral, Cognative, Multiple Intellegences and ours which was the Brain-based theory. First we had to open up Gmail accounts so that we could communicate throughout the week with each other. This was interesting, to say the least. First blog...first Gmail account! I found it to be a little confusing and felt myself wanting to just pick up the phone half of the time. Yet, I did like that as the documents were updated it happened instantaneously for all. I think it will take some time to get used to but, that being said, I still prefer to meet in person. As a group, I feel we did a fantastic job. We got the classes attention by starting off with introductions and a group exercise. Our content was informative and we had handouts for future reference and of a current example on brain-based teaching. To assess our group, we presented a quiz at the end followed by examples of brain food for all to eat. The one major flaw in our presentation would be that we well exceeded our 7 minute time frame! In the future, I will be more aware of that and try to keep my information as concise as possible.
