I was reading something the other day and it really made me think? It said that the brain creates certain chemicals after each activity that we do. With each of these activities we are are creating specific memories in our brain that will cause us to remember things. For example is we burn ourselves using a pan we will never forget the pain it caused and will think twice before doing that same thing again. Technology is so prevalent in the students lives now that each time they use it their brains are remembering the specific things that they do to get to each point in the activity. That explains why my 2 year old niece can navigate so quickly on the iPad with no help.
 
I think that using all types of technology helps to make our brain fire our synapses in so many different ways that it helps us to remember. one of the things said that if we create an emotional tie that is one of the strongest ways to create memories. have ever seen these kids play video games? lots of emotions!
