The Physiology of Learning
How the Body-Brain Dynamic Shapes Cognitive Performance
The evidence is clear: our bodies help us learn, and doing so involves more than just that crinkly organ between our ears. How we use our bodies impacts what our minds are able to accomplish - movement links to memory, sleep links to stress, creativity links to neuroplasticity, and it all links together. We'll examine ways to hack the body-brain connection to boost cognitive function and increase our learning power.

Building Connections Thru TCTC - Connected Learning
We’re constantly learning, and we learn best when our learning is connected. Connected learning happens when we take advantage of the opportunities all around us to give meaning to what we learn – connecting our learning to our personal interests and passions. When we do that, we not only increase our academic achievement, but advance our career success and become more engaged in the world around us. During his time at TCTC, Evan Branyon figured out how to do just that, and now as he prepares to graduate from CU this spring, he’s sharing his experience with us.
Building Connections Thru TCTC - Career Connections
Our careers should be more than just the 9-to-5, more than just a means to pay the bills. Our careers should be a journey, a calling, a course of action, and means to grow and learn and prosper. A career is the point where passion meets profession, and, as such, careers don’t begin with a job; they begin with an idea – an idea about who we are, who we want to be, and where we might be going.
