I was listening to a fascinating show by Pat Flynn, blogger and podcaster who was interviewing Bryan Kelly from What The Speak on the neuroscience behind great presentations.

Kelly created the acronym, SPLAT, to define the five most ingredients in helping others learn.

P = Problem solving–helping others find solutions
L = Lectures–avoiding them and focusing on teaching instead
A = All–all audiences are visual learners
T = Talking–teaching others is one of the best ways to learn
How can these reminders help us in the school setting? Here are my 5 take-aways: Read More 5 Essential Ingredients For Learning (SPLAT)
