Becoming a Wiz at Brain-Based Teaching

It's now almost been a week since you guys presented your book and my brain still hurts from all the information you packed in. I don't really see this as a negative thing. Your group went through the whole book in detail. I really enjoyed all the links you incorporated. They really added to the presentation. The whole idea about brain based teaching is intriguing and I definitely took away a ton of information about the subject.
The wiki your group designed was packed full of great information about the book, which was great. It just seemed a little boring listening to each of you talk one right after the other. The activities that were incorporated were great, but I wish you had done a few more. If you had gone through a section of the wiki, then done an activity, then more from the wiki it would have broken up the lecturing part of the presentation.
I did notice that someone from the group was moving around the room at all times. I thought this was good, even though it had nothing to do with your book. It kept us all on task so I thought I'd note it. Overall, you guys did a good job and I took a lot of information about brain-based learning that I can use in my future classroom!
