Photos For Class - The quick and safe way to find and cite images for class! 4’33” (Four Minutes and Thirty-Three Seconds): What Our Brains Need. Glenn Whitman , Director, The Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning Posted 03/23/2015 12:49PM | Last Commented 11/16/2015 11:26AM As my students know, their brains fascinate me and my colleagues.

4’33” (Four Minutes and Thirty-Three Seconds): What Our Brains Need

If they think about it, it is the only learning tool that they can never forget for our classes. Students can forget their homework, laptop, pencil or books. But there is no way they can forget their brain. Throughout this school year, I have been fascinated with memory, especially after reading Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning. But what do we ever truly remember? Most of you don’t know that I have a “man crush” on Bruce Springsteen and know the lyrics to nearly all of his songs.

Our brain never stops working, even in our sleep. Therefore, my challenge for each of us is to make 4’33’’ seconds more a part of how we teach, learn, and live each day.
