Download Now You See It: How the Brain Science of Attention Will Transform the Way We Live, Work, and Learn AudioBook Free
When Duke College or university provided free iPods to the freshman course in 2003, critics said they were throwing away their money. Yet when the students in nearly every discipline invented academic uses for the music players, suddenly the idea could be observed in a new light - as an ground breaking way to carefully turn learning on its brain. Using cutting-edge research on the brain, Cathy N. Davidson show how attention blindness has produced one in our society's greatest troubles: while we acknowledge the fantastic changes of the digital years, most of us still toil in universities and workplaces created for the last century. Now You See It introduces us to visionaries and groundbreaking ideas from universities with curriculums built around video gaming to companies that coach workers using online environments. A refreshingly positive argument and a vivid embrace in our linked, collaborative future.
