BFLG Midlands
Who are we?
We are a professional development group with a curiosity about the brain, people, creativity and learning. We have a fantastic range of people with different skills and interests and we are all really passionate about continuously improving our own performance so that our employers and clients get the best results from investing in learning with us.
When we first met we asked the group what their aims were – when someone said to share and spread the benefits of brain friendly learning with the whole world everyone clapped, so that’s what we do!
When and where do we meet?
We have quarterly meetings, usually Fridays from 10:00 am until 2:30pm at The Stratford Manor Hotel. When you join you will be sent details of the Brain Friendly Learning Discussion Group on Linked-in. This is a great way to keep in touch, share ideas and benefit from the combined knowledge and experiences of the group.
Next Meeting – 24th May 2013 - The Power of Images in Learning & Development - Helen Ashton
A picture says 1000 words, or so the saying goes. This well worn statement leads to a number of questions about the use of images and imagery in creating learning and developing memory.
Questions such as:
• How and why do images and imagery have an impact
• What sort of images should be used
• What criteria should I apply when choosing images
• What are the advantages and disadvantages of using images and imagery.
We use images in learning and writen materials but do you know why they are so powerful?
On 24 May the BFLG South will become a live image and imagery testing laboratory. Join us as we experiment and explore the questions above and more. White coat and protective goggles NOT essential!!!
