How Emotional Connections Can Trigger Creativity and Learning. Scientists are always uncovering new ways into how people learn best, and some of the most recent neuroscience research has shown connections between basic survival functions, social and emotional reactions to the world, and creative impulses.
Students’ social and emotional reactions to learning are imperative to feeling motivated to learn and to their ability to creatively solve problems, according to Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, who wrote Musings on the Neurobiological and Evolutionary Origins of Creativity via a Developmental Analysis of One Child’s Poetry [PDF]. Her research tries to understand why emotions are so important to learning by examining what happens to brain functions. “Neuroimaging experiments show us that we use the very same neural systems to feel our bodies as to feel our relationships, our moral judgments, and our creative inspiration,” said Immordino-Yang, a professor at USC’s Rossier School of Education and an expert on the neuroscience of learning and creativity.

Change. CBLHome. Welcome to an introduction to implementing Challenge Based Learning in UK schools.
Many of the resources on these pages are based on those provided by Apple on the main CLB site at and have just been adapted to a UK perspective. Others are extra challenges to give more choice to you, the teacher. We begin with a brief introduction to CBL and then the challenges. There is then a discussion group for each challenge for you to share how the challenges have worked for you and to suggest how I might improve the resources. If you want to suggest or contribute new challenges, you can download a challenge template in Pages (and Word) or simply send the information to me via email at simon_elliott@me.com All resources on this site are copyright to me and available under a Creative Commons Share-a-Like licence, except where copyright or intellectual property resides with Apple Inc. or Mounts Bay Academy.
Carrollcountyhs - Projects. Free Resources for Teachers. What Is “Challenge-Based Learning”?
“Challenge-Based Learning is an engaging multidisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that encourages students to leverage the technology they use in their daily lives to solve real-world problems. Challenge-Based Learning is collaborative and hands-on, asking students to work with other students, their teachers, and experts in their communities and around the world to develop deeper knowledge of the subjects students are studying, accept and solve challenges, take action, share their experience, and enter into a global discussion about important issues” ( “Young people are not blind to the world’s problems. They are aware that the world economy is in a dangerous and delicate condition, and they have a clear sense of what a collapse would mean — to themselves, their families and friends, and to people across the country and around the globe.

Resilience. 10 Apps For Inquiry Learning. This post will show 10 apps or ways that iPads and iPods become powerful learning tools in an inquiry-based learning environment, tied to sound research by a leading education network, the Galileo Network.
They offer up a rubric to determine how well a lesson aligns with the inquiry learning process. According to the rubric, there are 8 dimensions of inquiry: AuthenticityAcademic RigorAssessmentBeyond the SchoolUse of Digital TechnologiesActive ExplorationConnecting with ExpertsElaborated Communication The iPad can easily support any of these dimensions, and I want to share 1o ways that it might do it best. Authenticity 1) Popplet (4.99 or Free) Using popplet students can create media based brain storms and mind maps, organized by colour and size, connected with lines. 2) Blogging (Free) (Blogger+, WordPress, and others) I believe writing is one of the most academically rigorous things that students can do.
