Thank you for the book you have recommended. What we have to do as teachers is to use a similar method just as James Olson presents. Our students need to develop the nondominant parts of their brains and that is only possible by the activities we provide for them. Unfortunately, we are under the effect of the dominant parts of our own brains as teachers and we prefer the methods and techniques according to that unconsciously. It is good to search and learn different ways of reaching our students in terms of their learning styles.

Thank you for your interest and constructive comment:)

Have you read James Olson’s book “The Whole Brain Path to Peace?” (http://www.thewholebrainpath.com/index.html). His approach is to acknowledge that each of has a dominant brain hemisphere and then to educate ourselves as to how this biases our view of the world, and how we process information. His goal is to foster better cooperation among people and society. It seems to me this would be a good technique to incorporate into education early on but I am not aware of any tools that we can use in the classroom.
