Key points

‣
Common myths busted

The brain is constantly changing

The brain never goes to sleep

‣
All behaviour changes the brain, all the time, it is constantly reorganising
‣
To support learning you should increase the amount of neurones being used and linked (emotion)
‣
What you see in the short term does not reflect learning
‣
There is no recipe for learning, no 'one size fits all' (10,000 hours is not true) therefore we need to be personalising education
‣
The more you use a part of the brain the easier it is (practice makes perfect)
Nothing is more effective than practice
