= Meeting the Needs of All Learners: Brain-Based Learning =

Materials used during Session 1 in September
Below is the PPT that was used on Day 1- or... the PPT that I //tried// to use! I had to split it into two parts, as it was too big to upload as one file. I also removed the animations to reduce the size of the files. Since I wasn't able to use this PPT like I wanted to- due to the projector issues- it would be a good idea for you to very quickly click through the slides prior to our next session. This will refresh your memory about our Session 1 conversations.

====You may remember the jig-saw (modified "Tea Party") activity that we did using the multi-colored sheets of paper, each containing information about one of the elements of human motivation theory- CLICCCK. The pdf file posted here is the entire packet, containing all 7 of the CLICCCK information sheets. ====

=

 * 1 **. ** Read the CLICCCK packet ** posted above. The packet contains information sheets for all seven CLICCCK elements discussed during Session 1. We'll begin Session 2 by doing a review activity re: human motivation- specifically CLICCCK- and will then launch into more learning about the brain and how it works. =====

=

 * 2 **. ** Explore the entire Wikispace ****,** including the Welcome PPT posted on the homepage. Sign your name on the participants page, and read through the various assignments that will be part of the course this year. Come to Session 2 with any questions that arise. =====

=

 * 3. ** **Read the article: //7 Essentials of Project-Based Learning//**//.//  (link below) As you read, think about the elements of motivation theory that you learned about. (CLICCCK) Look for (and make note of) evidence of those seven elements as you read. We'll discuss the article- along with your thoughts about motivation- at the beginning of our next session. =====
