“Outstanding, provocative thoughts about 21s-century learning learning and how multutasking and technology could actually be damaging the brains of learners. More educators need to listen to Tod’s message!”

– Comment card, Calgary Teachers’ Convention, February 2008

pdf learning Learning in a Digital World

In a world where two thirds of kids spend more time in front of a computer than a television set, are we unknowingly re-shaping the learning patterns of children?

Is living in a remote control world helping or hindering education? What key things has our networked world already taught young people behind our back, and how kids are coping with learning in the hypermedia environment we’ve handed them.

In this thought-provoking, fast-paced 45-minute presentation, Tod will dive into the latest neurological research around cognitive development — and, using dozens of short videos and custom images, make it simple to understand.

You’ll fly through the brain’s learning centres and discover how the high-tech world and media multitasking is changing actual brain structures at the cellular level.
