Learning and the brain

This is a topic that has truly fascinated me for years.  It's amazing to think that everyone is born with this almost unbelievable ability to take in and process information from so many different stimuli and sources!  As a teacher, I have worked very hard to see to it that every brain in my class, no matter the "ability level", was engaged and actively learning each day.  There is so much more involved in that than simply lecturing or providing new information.  We have to take each individual into consideration, and work to learn what makes each student "click".  During my research on this topic, I discovered a fantastic website that has links to all sorts of articles, links, and even maps dealing with the brain and how we learn.  There are several articles that I have bookmarked for reference later!  This wonderful website can be found at http://www.newhorizons.org/neuro/front_neuro.html, I hope you find it as fascinating as I do!  Another article I found on the Kappan Magazine site is giving an updated perspective on using brain based education in today's classrooms.  It points out that there was lots of ongoing research, but in order for that research to be helpful to us we must be able to apply it with today's student population.  It made quite a few valid points that I found both interesting and helpful and can be found at http://www.pdkintl.org/kappan/k_v89/k0802jen.htm .  Another fabulous website I found has information about many other topics besides brain research while still incorporating that research in the articles, videos, and podcasts that are available there.  I have bookmarked this website as well, since I can see that it will truly help me as I move through my career in education.  Access this website here http://www.brains.org/.   Thanks for looking!
