First Post - Hey Everyone!

I just wanted to take a quick minute to welcome you to my blog and explain my 'About Me' picture (photo credit: my husband, Nick Shanmac).
This is my daughter Evangeline (Evy) and me at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in March. It illustrates, to me, how fun and interactive learning can be. I hope this OLPC journey I'm on helps me in my career, but also helps me guide and advocate for Evy's learning as she moves through her school years.

I look forward to the knowledge and practice we will gain through EDOD 651. I appreciate all of your insights that you post. I gain perspective through your thoughts.

~ Jess

P.S. A life motto of mine (one of them anyway) is below. It's so important to share learning with others, because by sharing we also enhance our own understanding.

    Hi Jess- I imagine that Evy had a bunch of questions when visiting the aquarium and learning about the creatures in their habitat- or recreated habitat. It always amazes me the questions kids come up with... and I find myself thinking, wow that was really insightful and curious. What a beautiful experience to continuing sharing together. - Jess B

      Thank you! It was a great experience and I'm really lucky we were able to take her down there when she was young enough to look at everything with wonder, but old enough to be aware (as opposed to us visiting the Georgia Aquarium when she was 6 weeks old). It is fun to watch kids learn, and hear about their observations and questions. Usually I'm impressed, but sometimes I'm like, "how on Earth do you expect me to know that?!" Haha, it's fun!

Memory, explained | from Vox + Netflix's The Mind, Explained

Image
Random post about memory... I was watching "The Mind Explained" on Netflix, and there is an episode about memory. It was really interesting and I would suggest a watch. If you don't have Netflix, the episode appears to be intact on YouTube (video above). The neuro researchers explained the following findings: Meditation and mindfulness may help enhance and increase memory; Memories can be strengthened by using them in a story, or by telling yourself a story about the memory; Time and place (where you were and when it happened) seem to play a big part in memory; Emotion creates memory, i.e. highly emotional experiences create stronger memories. Just thought it was a fun and informative watch and I thought I would share.

Generative Learning

Image
Photo by  Thomas Smith  on  Unsplash In Make It Stick , Brown, Roediger, and McDaniel (2014) tell the story about Bonnie Blodgette, The Blundering Gardener. Her method of jumping in and creating a garden before "knowing" how to be a gardener has lead to her expertise in the home gardening world. She learned by doing, which is also known as "generative learning" (Brown et al., 2014). Photo by  Valeria Zoncoll  on  Unsplash The biggest generative learning endeavor I have ever taken on is parenting. I babysat a little in my teens, I have had pets from babyhood to elder-hood (which some people count as equivalent - though I do not), and I have read many books on multiple, applicable subjects. But nothing fully prepares you for having a baby. I had plans, thoughts, and ideas, but so much of parenting for us was to wing it. Eventually, we learned about our child and her needs, and we learned about each of our strengths as parents and partners in paren...

The importance of chapter four

Image
Photo by  Chris Liverani  on  Unsplash "Retrieval practice that you perform at different times and in different contexts and that interleaves different learning material has the benefit of linking new associations to the material. This process builds interconnected networks of knowledge that bolster and support mastery of your field. It also multiplies the cues of retrieving and knowledge, increasing the versatility with which you can later apply it" (Brown, Roediger, & McDaniel, 2014, p. 83). Photo by  Icons8 team  on  Unsplash This statement is definitely a powerful awakening for me as a learner, and as someone who frequently leads and teaches others. I remember learning about test taking in college; that the way you study will lead to the way you recall studied information on test day. For example, if you always study with music on in your headphones, but you cannot use them in class, you may do worse on your test. However, if we u...
