David A. Sousa
Corwin
In a world where technology is increasingly dominant, it is critical to understand how it affects students' brains and behavior--for better and for worse. This new edition from bestselling educational neuroscience author David Sousa offers research-based, practical solutions and serves as a framework for educators who want to effectively leverage technology to enhance student learning in an environment that demands constant engagement and stimulation. Inside you'll discover (1) The impact of technology on students' brains, including how technology affects cognition, memory, attention, and behavior; Strategies for using technology to improve students' social and emotional skills; (2) New information on artificial intelligence, the after-effects of the pandemic, gaming, and productive struggle; and (3) A glossary of terms and a resources section to connect educators with supplemental materials and information. Students are engaging with technology in new ways every day, and educators must shift their instructional practices accordingly. "Engaging the Rewired Brain" is a must-read for today's educators and parents striving to understand technology's impact on the developing brain and prepare today's learners for an increasingly complex future.
