Brainy!

23 06 2008

Ok, today in class my teacher was telling us about the brain and Bloom’s Taxonomy. I found it surprisingly very interesting. Here is some of the facts we learned, well ‘I learned’ because ¾ of the class was half asleep and not paying attention, the only class I ever do that in is Geography.

-          The Bloom’s Taxonomy affects pretty much everyone.

-          Evolutions get shorter and shorter because people want more.

-          Over the last 50,000 years of human existence 650 life times were spent in caves, only in the last 4 did man (and woman) measure time correctly and most of the material goods we take for granted today have only been invented in our lifetime.

-           Knowing what kind of learner you are is just as important as learning itself.

-          Men tend to have more ‘intellectual self-esteem’ than women. For example (pronounces ex-ahm-ple instead of ex-am-ple) when men look for a job they think “Am I going to like it?” or “Is this job good for me?” but women tend to think more “Am I good enough for the job?” or “How hard is the job going to be?”

Pretty interesting huh?

Now a special shout out to my best friend (well one of them anyway) Bianca ————–  who got girl of the week on teenvogue.com! Congratulations I’m so proud!
