Teaching with Zoom: Advice from the Brain
Through fMRI research, Matthew Lieberman discovered a large network in our brain devoted to figuring out other people's thoughts and intentions: the mentalizing network. This social brain also causes learning and is active anytime the working memory network, which we use for fact learning, is not. Lieberman calls it our Superpower, but he also defines our Kryptonite: traditional education, where we tend to see the social aspect of learning as a frivolity, or ignore it altogether. For designing superior online classes, synchronous or not, the social brain has much to teach us, including the reasons for "Zoom fatigue."
