Brainigami is a Brain-Based Learning Strategy that employs what we know about the brain and how it remembers information. When what we do as teachers involves color, movement, chunking information, and emotions, learning “sticks” better. These 3-dimensional graphic organizers take advantage of all of these brain friendly strategies to engage learning on an emotional level.
What’s the REAL secret to Classroom Success? It’s NOT more content—It’s the ability to process content more effectively. You have to upgrade the brain’s “Operating System.” -Eric Jensen 2008
Launching P.A.D.S. Activate Prior Knowledge and Emotions to create a Launching PAD for new information and retention! P – Processing A – Attention and Memory D – Drive to ACHIEVE S – Sequencing
How do you UPGRADE the “Operating System” with BRAINIGAMI? Processing: Creating Games, Structured Practice, New Ways of Thinking, Decision Making Attention and Memory: Practice, Memory Aids and Techniques, Colors, High Interest, High Engagement, High Motivation Drive to Achieve: Making Choices, Feeling Success Sequencing: Building, Assembling, Organizing
Are you working SMARTER or HARDER? HARDER WAY: Same content, outdated methods, teaching to the middle, droning on and on whether the kids “get it” or not. SMARTER WAY: Upgrade the operating system. Take advantage of current research and ACTIVATE, MOTIVATE, and then CELEBRATE.
