Learning How to Learn: Mastering the Science of Learning with Barbara Oakley
Dr Barbara Oakley is a lifelong learning enthusiast with a colourful past. After struggling with mathematics and science at school, she joined the army, so she could get paid to learn another language. She studied Russian for years, even working on Soviet trawlers in the Bearing Sea for months at a time.

An Introvert’s Top Tips On How To Be A Great Storyteller
Do and Observe Think about a recent (good) story you were told by someone else. What was it about? Chances are it was something the storyteller experienced at one point in time. Was the experience great?
Learning theory (education)
Methodological behaviorism is based on the theory of only explaining public events, or observable behavior. B.F. Skinner introduced another type of behaviorism called radical behaviorism, or the conceptual analysis of behavior, which is based on the theory of also explaining private events; particularly, thinking and feelings. Radical behaviorism forms the conceptual piece of behavior analysis. In behavior analysis, learning is the acquisition of a new behavior through conditioning and social learning. The three mains types of conditioning and learning:
Becoming a Critic Of Your Thinking
Learning the Art of Critical Thinking There is nothing more practical than sound thinking. No matter what your circumstance or goals, no matter where you are, or what problems you face, you are better off if your thinking is skilled. As a manager, leader, employee, citizen, lover, friend, parent — in every realm and situation of your life — good thinking pays off. Poor thinking, in turn, inevitably causes problems, wastes time and energy, engenders frustration and pain.
Computational Neuroscience
About the Course This course provides an introduction to basic computational methods for understanding what nervous systems do and for determining how they function. We will explore the computational principles governing various aspects of vision, sensory-motor control, learning, and memory. Specific topics that will be covered include representation of information by spiking neurons, processing of information in neural networks, and algorithms for adaptation and learning. We will make use of Matlab demonstrations and exercises to gain a deeper understanding of concepts and methods introduced in the course. The course is primarily aimed at third- or fourth-year undergraduates and beginning graduate students, as well as professionals and distance learners interested in learning how the brain processes information.
The Pinterest Guide For Teachers
How Does Pinterest Work? Pinterest allows its members to create a board on virtually any topic and pin images to that board.

What Every Teacher Should Know About the Science of Learning
The human brain has a remarkable and often unexpected way of making, storing, and retrieving memories. Did you ever wonder why it’s easy to learn some things and hard to learn other things? Why can you read a book and feel you learned a lot, only to find that you’ve forgotten most of it a year later? Why can you remember your first day of teaching, but not your tenth day? What is the science of learning?
