Episode 3: Brain Matters

In this episode, I talk to Jonathan, who teaches math and STEM in Brooklyn, and Jennifer, who is a media specialist in Florida. We discuss what neuroscience tells us about what happens to our brains when we learn. Chapter 5 of Bransford, Brown, and Cocking (2000) How People Learn, Chapter 3 of CAST (2014) Universal Design for Learning: Theory and Practice, and Shane Parrish's interview with Barbara Oakley on learning how to learn.
