Hey! I make Youtube content relating to middle grades literature. Super Quick Book Previews, Read Alongs, and Watch Alongs.
Hoping to help kids connect with the right books to develop lifelong readers/learners/critical thinkers.
Started as a grad school project and continuing it as a passion project.

-Author is a teacher who allows students to take assessments twice, once independentally & a 2nd time using their handwritten notes
-He then averages the scores for the gradebook
-This encourages quality notetaking. Students become open to improved notetaking skills & learning new notetaking systems
-Research shows handwritten notes improve retention & understanding
-LMS like schoology make it administer & grade

TLDR:
-Stress from the pandemic caused years of aging in teen brains.
-This hastened development of the amygdala, hippocampus, and cerebral cortex. The potential negative effects are mental health issues and learning problems.
-Researchers plan on scanning the teenage brains again at 20 years old to track the long term changes.
Thanks!
