I especially enjoyed reading the articles related to the brain. In college, I majored in psychology. We learned about the two hemispheres of the brain. While reading this information I gained more knowlege as to how each hemisphere influences how we think and act in our every day lives. I have characteristics of both types. I am logical, but yet would rather look at a the "whole picture", rather than parts. So I guess according to the articles my brain hemispheres work together. Most importantly, I gained an understanding of how my students think. They gave good ideas as to how to stimulate the students' brain. One idea that I thought was cool dealt with the right brain dominant child. They said that for kids to see/remember their mistakes in spelling was to have them write the incorrect letters in a different color so they stand out. I will definitely keep these articles in mind when I am teaching. I might even have the kids take a quiz to see which hemisphere they are dominant in.
