I may seem insignificant - but you don't know my connections;)
Poetic Metacognition of a Neuron
Arms and branches = dendrites
Eye = nucleus
Tail = axon
Flailing at the end = axon
ending
Clothing = Schwan cells –

Who wants to trigger my
action potential?
YES – At Last – I’m ALL LIT UP!!
In a learning context – what might have
triggered the action potential?
How will this light up the whole mind and create an optimal
learning state?

How we work
Draw me and tell my story
This is me at a brain-storming party !!
Can you find me in the crowd?
Yeah, yeah, I know….We all look the same to you…That’s because our
sum is greater than our parts…..
A dearth of creativity
I’m a lone neuron (:
I’m connected,
I’m all lit up!!
Neurons and people are more alike than you think!!
In fact, neurons are so like humans that they create human experience. Just as people don’t like to stand alone at parties, neurons are no good alone either.
We need each other to grow. When WE grow, YOU grow. HOW?
By having FUN through
INTERACTIVITY.
Why interactivity?
“If eyes are the windows of the soul, mirror neurons are the windows of social & emotional awareness.”
How do we connect?
The ancient art of story -telling
As civilizations grew, so did the iconic nature of storytelling, yet we're no different today - our walls are just more likely to be on Facebook than deep inside caves. As we make our way through the digital transformation, a return to visualization is occurring that adheres to the storyteller's craft of appealing to our tribal sensibilities.
METACOGNITION
Help our students to ‘know about knowing’.
Start by being mindful of how stories can engage the whole-brain, heart and soul
Story-telling & language acquisition
Story-telling, memory & creativity

The Story Of Fluency!!
The ACT of story –telling ENHANCES fluency development by harnessing the
POWERS of the IMAGINATION and ASSOCIATION.
A good story, in turn, is made GREAT, by clever use of imagination and association, thereby creating fun, inspiring, artistic, memorable learning experiences!!!!!
