Brain RulesTakeaways & Quotes

from Dr. John Medina’s

What all presenters need to know

A presentation (of sorts)

by Garr Reynolds

Dr. Medina’s findings discussed

in Brain Rules are ideas worth

spreading...

So I extracted some quotes

and key points as they relate to

my field — presentation — to

help you spread the word.

You can quote me:

Brain Rules is one of the

most informative, engaging,

and useful books of our

time. Required reading for

every educator and every

business person. My

favorite book of 2008!

”— Garr Reynolds Presentation Zen

A Pedagogical Framework

Teachers must engage studentsʼ preconceptions

(Principle 1) Studentsʼ Errors and Misconceptions Based on Previous Learning

Students come to the classroom with conceptions of numbers grounded in their whole-number learning that lead them astray in the world of rational numbers; e.g. multiplying always makes numbers bigger.

On the importance of presenting well

"Failure to spend the [class] time wisely and well, failure to educate, entertain, elucidate, enlighten, and most important of all, failure to maintain attention and interest should be punishable by stoning. There is no excuse for tedium."

On dull conference speakers teachers

"They are not sophisticated, erudite scientists speaking above our intellectual capability; they are arrogant, thoughtless individuals who insult our very presence by the lack of concern for our desire to benefit from a meeting class which we choose to attend."

On reading a conference paper class notes

"There is never an excuse to read a paper notes ... Better to lower the level of verbal excellence and raise the level of extemporaneous energy."

On using slides (35mm and OHPs in those days):

"They must be brightly lit and convey a simple thought. If you need a pointer to indicate an important concept or location on a slide, it is probably too crowded or difficult to comprehend."
