Our Think Tank online magazine represents 21st century learning. Just as you might come across an interesting video on the Internet, click links to read more about it, and then discuss it with colleagues, our Think Tanks work that way too. Each issue starts with a media broadcast, such as a TED Talk on the brain science topic featured in the issue. This is followed by a Think Tank of teachers and researchers writing more about the topic and how it applies to the language classroom. The final Plus section includes book reviews, reader spotlights, and other special contributions.
This month we’re looking at fresh ideas we can bring into our classroom. From connecting neuroscience to pedagogy, using low stakes testing to enhance learning, tips for encourage creativity in our students, to a whole bunch of innovative suggestions from our readers, there’s lots of inspiration to be found in this issue!
“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” (Maya Angelou)
