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!

Here’s your host for
this presentation...
Hello! My name’s Biff.
Agalychnis callidryas
I’ll be your host for this online
version of the presentation.
Why me? Three reasons: (1) Let my enormous
eyes remind you that vision is the most
dominant sense for you humans.
And (2) allow my remarkable coloring and shape to remind you that you humans are wired to notice differences and patterns...
And (3) let my tiny, primitive brain remind
you that, while I get the most use out of
my brain (as far as I know), you, my friend,
could learn to use your massive, evolved brain
much more effectively...

Teachers must engage students! preconceptions

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.

Let there be stoning!
Dr. Jay Lehr
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."
