So apparently I am a little behind on my blog posts. I am the first to admit that I don’t use social media well, or to its fullest capacity so blogging is going to be a challenge for me so I’ll try to be more on top of it.

I’m just going to start with some thoughts about the first weeks readings and see how that goes.

Hyper Attention vs Deep Attention

Many different streams of stimuli or one focus?

For me, I can’t really consider myself to be one or the other and I would say that there are a lot of people out there that would say the same.

I can’t listen to music and study or read at the same time. It’s impossible. For physical or social activities? Definitely, but not for studying. I need deep concentration, and it works. However, when I learn I prefer to have different forms of information presented to me, I need discussion, visuals and direct teaching so I consider that to be the Hyper Attention part of me.

We are still figuring out the education system in regards to catering to the needs of individual learning styles and now we are looking a new generation with a whole new style of learning depending on how technology advances in the coming years.
