The Left Brain And The Right Brain

Most people think we are controlled by our left brain and right brain, they decide what job or hobby we are good at it. people think the left brain helps us do some logical job, like computer science, or engineering. and the right brain brings us creative thinking, like when we are drawing or painting, we used a lost right brain. But we learned it is a misconception, which will affect what we choose differently in human society. In my experience, I really like to do coding work, I had tried to learning painting or guitar, but I feel hard to enjoin it.

 I find a video explaining how the left brain and the right brain influence us, the summary of this video tells us “right brain thinks in pictures instead of words. Using intuition and focusing on the bigger picture, the left focuses on actual words, thinking in a very verbal way. Holding into detail first and then putting them together to form a whole picture. (1min.02s -1min.19s from video),it is similar to hemispheric dominance from the left brain/right brain myth, they affect us has a different feeling or thinking and our hobby.

In the Top 200 tool for Learning, I found out top 2 tools are Youtube and Zoom, it shows multimedia principle already affect us how we learn today, For example,

Covid-19 change our life, the student can not back to school, and they need to use zoom learn knowledge from a teacher, it is a big challenge for teacher how to explain every detail clearly, and multimedia principle help it,  video make student focus word and picture, not just read long slide PowerPoint, they can do review easily from the video and prepare for example.

Finally, the Principles of multimedia learning affected everyone, and when we try to teach a piece of new knowledge to others, these principles can help us do better.
