1. At http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=91085631 on MySpace, I found a young high school art teacher who reads about brain-based educational strategies, "As for Non-Fiction, I devour anything considering the connectiveness of education and brain-based learning, among these: TEACHING WITH THE BRAIN IN MIND and ARTS WITH THE BRAIN IN MIND by Eric Jensen, DRAWING ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BRAIN by Dr. Betty Edwards, the FLOW PSYCHOLOGY books of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi."
His site is dedicated more to his art and his friends and family, than to education, but I found it interesting to read about a fellow educator. His site includes entertaining film clips, as that is one of his art interests. Because it doesn't stick very close to education, I looked for another and found the one below.
2. Classroom 2.0 is a social networking site supported by Ning. Here I found an educator named Linda Wallen, with an RSS audio feed to a professor at Aurora university, whom Linda interviewed regarding "the latest information on brain research" and its applications to education.
I would have to join Classroom 2.0 to hear the remarks, which I will do next week, but am out of town, paying for Internet time this week.
The greatest thing about social networking sites is that you can get VERY CURRENT information, if your sources are reliable.
This site also had excellent links, with the Classroom 2.0 WIKI, and Blogging Options for Educators.
