Brain Diversity and the iGeneration

A Conference for Parents, Teachers and Students

PRE - REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

SORRY - THE STUDENT PROGRAM IS SOLD-OUT

Technology has facilitated new insights to the brain that are revolutionizing practices in education and parenting. At the same time, technology pervades our daily lives and students (digital natives) beg to be taught differently and clamor for relevance. At this conference we will learn how theories of learning, parenting and teaching are evolving and what we can do to encourage and support brain development in the igeneration at home and school.

Presenters include:

Martha Kaufeldt, is the author of "Begin with the Brain", a master teacher and frequent presenter. Most recently she spoke at the 28th annual "Learning and the Brain" Conference in San Francisco.
Yalda T. Uhls, M.A., M.B.A., is a research scientist at the Children’s Digital Media Center@Los Angeles, a doctoral candidate in psychology at UCLA, and frequent speaker and writer on digital media and development.
