As I read this week's assignment in Siemen's Knowing Knowledge book, I can't help but think of a class I just finished last week called Brain Gym. I originally took the class because I was interested in learning techniques to use in the classroom when the children have lost focus. Brain gym is a series of small exercises that help create pathways to both the right and left side of the brain.
Today I am reading and they are talking about network pathways and how knowledge is changing at such a rapid pace. Staying focused and alert and being able to simulate knowledge at such rapid pace is more important today then ever before I don't believe it is going to slow down but will continue to accelerate at light speed.
What I realized from the Brain Gym class is that we all need to stimulate the pathways that connect our brain so that we can absorb these changes and teach our students so that they are ready for knowledge that is changing everyday.
