1969- Neil Armstrong walks on the moon. That was an incredible accomplishment. Did you know that was 30 years later that neuroscience and educators came together in the first ever conference about the brain and learning? 30 years AFTER we put a man on the moon. Doesn't that just seem so… unbelievable?

-While learning and the brain go together like hand and glove, it was not until 1999 that educators and neuroscientists created a gathering place to discuss new research findings with respect to the classroom and clinical practice. "This marriage between neuroscience and education is pretty new," said Kosik. "But people now see it as a discipline in its own right."-University of California Web page. 2008.

I just thought that was so very interesting that I had to share it.
