Waiting for sessions


Here's Brent waiting for the keynote on Sunday afternoon.  The keynote on Sunday was Dr. John Medina, who is a molecular biologist.  Now, you may be wondering what a molecular biologist is doing at an educational technology conference.  Dr. Medina spoke about what scientists know abou the brain and how it learns.  His presentation was fast-paced, funny, and very interesting.  He talked about how the brain is 'wired' to make sure that we survive and that we learn what we need to know to survive.  Excellent job, Dr. Medina!  I think I might just have to buy his book Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving & Thriving at Work, Home, & School, which was a New York Times bestseller.  You can find it at Amazon.com
