HELLO EDUCATORS,
My name is Loraine Medina. I attended Ashford
University and acquired a Bachelors Degree in
Cognitive Studies. As an educator for grades k5, I have proven success implementing braincompatible learning in the curriculum. It is
highly essential to capitalize students
education. I feel confident that I will increase
your knowledge using this approach and how to
incorporate B.C.L. in the instruction.
My long-term goal is to acquire my Master's
Degree in Special Education and work as a SEIT.
Lastly, my education and work experience has
been highly beneficial since I can apply that
knowledge in school and at home with my son.

COMPARE/CONTRAST TRADITIONAL
LEARNING TO BRAIN-COMPATIBLE
LEARNING
Compare:
Both learning should focus on individual and group practices to strengthen optimum
learning experience.
Contrast:
Traditional learning
Brain-compatible learning
The article mentions, although traditional techniques have been successfully practiced for
many years, our increasing knowledge of neurological processes and their contribution to the
learning process should be recognized and acted upon to increase learning among the student
population. (Robin McDaniel, 2008)

NEUROTRANSMITTERS: SEROTONIN
Serotonin:
B R A I N C O M PAT I B L E E D U C AT I O N
NEUROTRANSMITTERS: ACETYLCHOLINE
Acetylcholine:
Deals with learning, memory and muscle movement.
Is it important in forming new memory. It holds on to new
memory and boosts levels to enhance memory.
Regulates attention, sleep, learning, dreams.
The article mentions, in the brain, acetylcholine is produced
in several locations including the basal forebrain. It may
promote learning. Acetylcholine-producing cells in the
basal forebrain are damaged in the early stages of
Alzheimer's disease, which may contribute to the memory
impairments which are an early symptom of the disease.
