How Our Brain Learns
Neurons • Also known as Brain Cells. • The place where information is stored. • When your neurons connect to each other faster and stronger…. You are LEARNING!
Dendrites • The ‘Branches of a Neuron’ where information comes in.
Synapses • The space between Neurons where information (neurotransmitters— chemicals) travels from one neuron to another.
How do we keep the information we learn? • Creating new paths between neurons… Building new Dendrites (branches) • Using the pathway over and over…. Repeat Information to make the pathway strong. • Fire it to Wire it!
When Neurons are Firing We are Learning We Need to Make Strong Neuro. Pathways
Best Way to Succeed • Intention: Having a Purpose to Achieve • Willingness to Learn • Believe that your Brain will do it’s job if you give it the tools to learn. • A lot of Effort • Feel Safe in your Classroom Mistakes are Proof of Learning! Mistakes Are Not Stress!!!!
