OnlineUniversities.com has compiled an interesting list of ways what we’ve learned from neuroscience is being used to rethink school and the classroom.
Much of the list consists of simpler, practical things that are straightforward (if not easy) to implement: like starting school later (for the adolescents), emphasizing more group work, and stressing the importance of the emotion (positive affect).
But the article also points out some of the newer technology based approaches, such as interactive “cognitive tutoring”.
It’s a useful introductory reference.
