When I was reading the article ASCD: Brain-based Teaching in the digital age I had to stop and copy the stages of brain development. I printed it out to put in my folder to keep as a reminder when I become a teacher.
As a pre-school teacher I was constantly being pressured by my parents and administrators to not just include technology but to push my students academically to work harder. Now that I the stages of brain development I can better plan my classes and curriculum using best practices in the digital age while maintaining or being cognizant or mindful that these are children wit brains that are still developing. I plan on having a challenging curriculum with a childs development just as important as their academic achievements.
