The Ted Talk titled "7 Ways to Engage the Brain" was a great listen for me. I related to so many points when I consider how I teach my students, or even behave as a mother. The points that stood out to me the most were related to how video games work within our biology, the natural way our brain ticks, and the instincts humans have. For example, the uncertainty note explains that humans like to be rewarded, but are even more energized to receive an award unexpectedly. Another note that humans like to exist together, with each other. Games promote that, especially in this day and age with headsets and microphones. Finally, I love the note about people being rewarded for every little thing they do. Attendance, experience, bonus efforts.
