Hi Ramneet, I really enjoyed reading your blog post on Neuromyths. I grew up and found teachers and peers deligating what side of the brain was dominant, in comparison with my grades. I found myself in high school struggling to perform well in English and social studies, and teachers often said well you are just the more left brain. This essentially diminished any motivation I had to develop my writing skills, as I just assumed I did not have the brain for it. I see that you had maybe the same problems on the other side of education. I see how you compared the left side to the “gifted” child and find this amusing, as I use to compare the right side to the “creative” thinkers and artists of the world. I was and be very jealous of their “right-sided” brains (haha). I also agree with using a holistic approach with a classroom environment and utilizing the cognitive theory to encourage motivation and creativity. Overall, this was very well written, and I look forward to reading more of your work.
Hi Omar,
I really liked the layout of your poster design, it has a great color scheme! Your blog post on AR is very interesting. I am planning on becoming an elementary teacher and find AR a very exciting opportunity, but I agree with your statement on how it should or should not be fully incorporated. I have many of the same feelings regarding security and privacy and agree that learning is a real connection with students and their environment. Yet, with Covid-19 and the ever-growing medical advances, I believe that AR would be an incredible inclusion for education and would drastically increase motivation, insight, and accessibility. I wonder what university/primary school will look like when this becomes a reality? Overall, great blog post, and I look forward to reading more of your thoughts.
