The Science of Education

The Cerebrum magazine has an interesting article about Neuroeducation,. "Research shows that learning changes the brain. The brain is “plastic”—it makes new cellular connections and strengthens existing ones as we gain and integrate information and skills.
In the past decade, the enormous growth in understanding brain plasticity has created an entirely new way to consider how learning and achievement take place in the education of children." The Learning, Arts, and the Brain summit, held in May 2009 in Baltimore, offered scientists, educators and policy-makers an opportunity to discuss ideas for research into how arts learning affects the brain.
