“If you don’t let a teacher know at what
level you are—by asking a question, or
revealing your ignorance—you will not
learn or grow. You can’t pretend for
long, for you will eventually be found
out. Admission of ignorance is often the
first step in our education!” ~ Steven
Covey 1990

Circuit 1 This one is for reactive attention
Circuit 2 This one sets our mind to concentrate on something

Multitaskers fire up striatium needed for procedural learning. Not bad if you want to be on an assembly line.

Focused learners rely on hippocampus needed for learning abstract rules to novel problems. Needed for learning mathematics and programming based work.

Multitasking is important for “doing”
Being focused is important for “learning”

Multitasking is a myth

Learning results from what the student does and thinks.
Learning results ONLY from what the student does and thinks.
A teacher can advance learning only by influencing what the student does to learn.

• Ask questions and immediately call for volunteers• Call on students cold• Turn class into Power Point shows• Fail to provide variety in instruction• Have students work in groups with no individual
accountability• Fail to establish relevance• Give tests that are too long• Get stuck in a rut• Teach without clear learning objectives• Disrespect students
