Brain Connections

The influx of knowledge and research in recent years has given us a deeper understanding about the importance of a child's first few years and how to maximize a child's potential for the betterment of all society.

In this Webquest the student will identify and review basic human brain anatomy, examine fundamental brain communication circuitry,  then investigate three core principals of brain development: experiences build architecture, serve and return interaction shapes brain circuitry and toxic stress derails healthy development. The student will locate a digital photograph of their child or use a digital camera to take digital photos of their child representing these core principals then upload them with a reflective summary statement to a collaborative Word google document. Students will review peer entries and use this digital collection to create a digital book using an on-line Realebook application.
