whole brain?


Originally uploaded by jaycross.

In one of my classes (that is for future teachers), we start by looking at "who" is our student. We look at multiple intelligences, learning styles, and learning strategies our students might posess.

In preparing for class, I found a blogthings for right brain, left brain dominerance. It seems, like many times before, I still tend to be pretty much down the middle with a stronger leaning to the left.

Amanda is
55% Left Brained, 45% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.

The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

flashback to memory lane You know . . . sometimes you experience a few moments between sleep and awake--not fully either. Today, all four alarms were going off simultaneously. I had just got them all on snooze (they are all not right by my bed--they are scattered throughout the room), when I thought, next time they all go off I will get "up and at 'em." Had not heard that phrase in years!! Instantly, I pictured Adam in my head. When I was growing up, my mother would say "up and at 'em" to wake us up. For years and years (probably till I actually saw it written down), I thought she was saying "up and Adam." I never was sure why Adam had anything to do with waking up. But I just assumed that the first man was an early riser or hard worker and that my mom was just using a standard idiom. :)

the closer i get to the cross There is safety in the distance; out of sight and out of mind And life is unexamined out of fear for what I'll find But once again in solitude my soul is unfilled So I press through the crowd and I step toward the hill The closer I get to the cross the more clearly I see The holiness of You and the sinfullness in me There's a beauty in the agony that draws me to this place The closer I get to the cross the more amazed I am by grace There are times I want to turn my head so I don't have to face the truth Of everything you've done for me and what I've done to You But here my eyes are opened and it breaks my heart to know Just how deep the roots of all my failures go Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, Blessed Lord To the cross where Thou has died Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, Blessed Lord To Thy precious bleeding side This song ("The Closer I Get to the Cross") captures my heart's cry right now!! I have listened to it over and over ever since I bought Palisade's selftitled CD. But you can listen to it (and four other songs) free if you download the file(s) from their website. Our God is sheer mercy and sheer grace!! Hallelujah!!!!!
