Humans have fundamental ability and cognitive resources to learn new concepts and acquire new skills and knowledge, although this may not seem natural to most of us at first. The key is to understand how the brain works so we can harness its potential by developing and adopting learning techniques that are effective and more rewarding. In this episode of Bridging the Gaps, I speak with Dr Barbara Oakley about “Learning how to learn”. Dr. Oakley encourages learners to recognize that everyone learns differently. Recognizing the benefits and drawbacks of various learning approaches depending on a learner's natural brain functioning, she argues, is the first step in learning how to handle new information. Dr Barbara Oakley is a professor of Engineering at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. She is an inaugural “Innovation Instructor” at Coursera, an online course provider, where she co-taught one of the world's most popular massive open online course “Learning How to Learn”. Her work focuses on the complex relationship between neuroscience and social behavior. She has written many books including “Learning How to Learn: How to Succeed in School Without Spending All Your Time Studying; A Guide for Kids and Teens”. Her book “Mindshift: Break Through Obstacles to Learning and Discover Your Hidden Potential” is also relevant to this discussion. We start the conversation by discussing Dr Oakley's education and professional journey, which led to her developing interest in “Learning how to learn”. We then discussed our present understanding that how learning occurs in the brain and how the brain acquires new knowledge. Dr Oakley explains why it is important to understand the working and functioning of the brain for developing and adopting effective learning techniques. She then explains a number of effective techniques for effective learning such as when to focus and when to take a break, she discusses significance of practice and being persistent. Dr Oakley then discusses in detail the effectiveness of Pomodoro technique. We then discuss the future of MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) and universities in the age of online teaching and learning. We also touch upon the possible impact of over-reliance on and excessive use of technology for online learning.

In today's episode I'll review Mindshift, written by Dr. Barbara Oakley. Dr. Oakley teaches the world's most popular online course, Learning How to Learn. She also serves as professor of Engineering at Oakland University and is involved in multiple areas of research from STEM education, to engineering education, to learning practices. Throughout Mindshift, Dr. Oakley introduces us to people who have each experienced a Mindshift in their lives. From guitarists turned doctors, to white collar worker turned woodworker. Oakley herself struggled with math and science growing up, but through learning a language with the military she discovered learned techniques that can be leveraged for people interested in cultivating a positive attitude, learning more effectively, or growing in multiple areas of their lives.

Andre Berry, School Manager for World Vision's Ignite Program, sits down and shares his journey from Political Science to Education, and the way that the two are so tightly combined. He shares his passion for being a role model to students who may not have a mentor in their lives that looks like them, and his desire to illuminate the reality of the school to prison pipeline and make a change. Plus...he shares the importance of fist bumps, why the church should be leading the conversation about Restorative Practices, and how opening students' eyes to social transformation is changing our world. Where You Can Find Him: Facebook What He Recommends: Mindshift: Break Through Obstacles to Learning and Discover Your Hidden Potential by Barbara Oakley, PhD Dave Matthews Band What He Said:  "I felt that there was a real need for students, especially in low socio-economic communities, to have educators who were passionate about advocating for them." "In the past we've used the term 'achievement gap,' but really it's an opportunity gap.  It's a lack of resources that many students face when they lack quality education." "As early as Kindergarten, we're not applying Restorative Discipline...it's punitive discipline...and it's a disservice to these students.  When we punitize discipline instead of restoring it, students are more likely to return to their negative behavior and it leads directly to the Criminal Justice system." "Just because we have a Bachelor's Degree or Master's Degree in Education doesn't mean that we understand Cultural Sensitivity." "What we do for our communities we do for us all." "We as parents need to put our phones down and turn off Netflix and spend time with our kids to show them that they are important to us." "If there is one thing constant in this life, it is His love, and His grace, and His mercy."        

In this episode, Damon discusses his entrepreneurial journey, how he currently serves the business community and his mission in life. Damon talks about how he began his journey as an employee right out of college, serving as a business consultant only to be later forced out on his own. For Damon, that moment in life proved to be pivotal, since it led him to the decision to become an entrepreneur, founding many businesses including an interim executive business which was unknown at the time. Damon also discusses his core passion which is to help small business owners grow their business through Gino Wickman’s Entrepreneurial Operating System.  Be sure to stay tuned to the end when Damon shares his contact information and how listeners can purchase his valuable new book, the X-Formation. Show Quote “Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers, they succeed.” - Proverbs 15:22  Resources X-Formation (book) -– Damon’s book that will teach you all about interim executives, why your company may need their services, and where to find one. Traction (book) -– An enlightening book that outlines Gino Wickman’s EOS  system. Good to Great (book) -– A resource Jack recommends when considering questions around hiring and personnel.  Mindshift (book) - “Break Through Obstacles to Learning and Discover Your Hidden Potential.” A book Jack recommends. damonneth.com  -–  Visit Damon’s website to learn more about his services.
