We are now going to begin talking about the the issues with information processing this week. I want to understand a little more about how the brain processes information which causes us to learn. I bumped into http://good-college-admission-essay-examples.blogspot.com/2013/09/information-processing-theory.html this site give me an overview of how information is processed in the brain. "The Information Processing supposition has quintuplet working(a) characters that include sensation, perception, sensory render, working memory, and bulky-term memory. by the piece of these regions provides something different." When I begin to read this information I feel overwhelmed, because I am not sure what this really means. I begin to read a little further and I begin to understand that the brain can only take in so much. Even though the brain controls a lot of organs in our body it continues to be a work in progress. Now you are probably thinking to yourself “what does she mean by that?”

Well I am talking about how information in the brain is processed. The brain is not taught much, but it processes information just like a computer and it bring it whenever you need it. In my exploring to find out how information is processed I ran into an article about the brain, after all you can’t talk about processing without knowing anything about the brain. I stumbled on a blog that did just that http://blog.bufferapp.com/10-surprising-facts-about-how-our-brain-works here we learn ten surprising facts about the brain. One in particular that I found interesting is that it is impossible for our brains to multi-task. “Multi-tasking is something we’ve long been encouraged to practice, but it turns out it’s actually impossible. When we think we’re multi-tasking, we’re actually context-switching. That is, we’re quickly switching back-and-forth between different tasks, rather than doing them at the same time.” This quickly made me think about inside of my classroom and how frustrated my students are when I give them notes to take while teaching a lesson. I did not seem to understand why they would get so upset or shut down sometimes until I bumped into this. It all makes sense now; one thing at a time can be processed if we give it enough time to enter our brains.

I hope this was informational for you.
