I LOVE this website....

This website gives an almost whimsical look at brain-based-learning.

I especially noted:

"Traditional schooling, however, often inhibits learning by discouraging, ignoring, or punishing the brain’s natural learning processes."

After reading this I realized there is no mention of student past experience having a impact on learning ability. I do think that past experience has a very large part to play in the learning classroom whether it be traditional or e-learning. I mentioned this in my blog response.
