Turbulence Ahead (Free subscription) | yesterday
One of the things I keep noticing about the blogosphere is the extent to which it is predominantly male. Now I know this is due to the 'double shift' suffered by women the world over, raising children AND propping up the economy ( not true , I know, but I thought I'd say it to avoid a visit from the feminist mutaween ). Still, this peculiar male bias has got me thinking ... We are used to thinking...

More Learning about Brain Dominance In the last post in this series I shared that hearing the lectures of Dianne Craft opened my eyes to brain dominance, about how to teach right-brained learners and some ideas about helping “struggling learners” with “blocked learning gates”.

As my students begin the final year of their course I tasked them one afternoon to reflect on how far they had come, what they had achieved and where their aspirations lay. I was quite surprised with their genuine thoughtfulness and candid reflection. As the group are very visual it was clearly appropriate to request that they communicate their thoughts and emotions through a mood board. In addition...

I stood at the ATM machine and fumbled. I had forgotten the numbers. There was a dude talking away on his cell phone next to the other ATM machine. I fed in the numbers and the ICICI machine showed a grumpy face. I got stressed and I had brain freeze. Numbers danced before my eyes and I felt a surge of panic drown my lungs and bank against the back of throat demanding a scream and I blinked. My disability...

This week is Dyslexia awareness week, so I thought it was an apt week to talk about ‘being dyslexic’ Having Dyslexia is more frustrating than anything, you know what you want to say, but just can’t get it down in words, it brings you to tears sometimes just not being about to articulate your thoughts in words.It’s also very difficult to read out loud, but as you do this more...
