You know something? One lovely thing about the webinars we attended is that they keep sending you invitations, updates, and interesting news and notifications. This is one thing I received in one of the emails a few days ago: a brief video about emotions. This is the link; please check it: http://www.6seconds.org/2013/04/10/three-essential-facts-about-feelings/

A coincidence was that I read a similar article on LinkedIn.

A coincidence was that I read a similar article on LinkedIn.
“For example, there’s the avoidant mode, where we try to distance ourselves from feelings and people; the anxious mode, where we over-worry our relationships – and the secure mode, where we can take in emotions with calm, feel secure in ourselves and are able to take smart risks, and can focus in ways that help us be at our best.”
This is an excerpt of the article on Modes, entitled “It’s Modes, Not Personality Traits”. This article explains how the human mind is some kind of elastic. That is, things are not about a fixed ’personality mode’ for each of us; rather, our ‘modes’ might change as the circumstances we are put in change. The more helpful and inviting the environment is, the more positive our emotions, and consequently our interactions, are.
Here's the link if you'd like to read the aticle; it's not long either. http://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20130415121533-117825785-it-s-modes-not-personality-traits
After checking this interesting info, which the article proves through studies, how would you relate to a classroom's practices?
Many things came to my mind, but I would like to hear from you!
according to the video that is present in the first link, it talk about the 8 basic emotions: Surprise, disgust, anger,anticipation, joy, trust, fear, and surprise. they all have influence in our body, in positive or negative way. most of the time we observe in the class students that are absent in their minds, if we look at the emotions joy and trust are the only two emotions that have positive effect, and the rest of them are negative. we have to be aware inside our class to make students separate their personal life that may have extreme emotions by make them engaged in the lesson, so that the working memory of students will be only for the task during the period. as we learn that our working memory can handle 7 task at once so we have to be sure that students fill these task with beneficial things.
