Achieve better grades and confidence!
BrainCogs is an interactive multi-sensory CD-ROM, designed to tap into student learning styles to develop personalized strategies that will help before, during and after a test. Students will "oil" their "rusty brain cogs" to fine-tune Organizing, Remembering, Prioritizing, Shifting, and Checking skills. Join thousands of students who are already benefiting from this proven cognitive coaching approach to improve academic performance and confidence in and out of school.
This powerful, yet easy to use CD-ROM allows individual students to progress through the many activities at their own pace. Assessment tools include a Progress Report in the Teacher Administrator Tools, as well as a Certificate of Completion for students which tracks their success on all learning strategies presented.
This media-rich, animated, musical CD-ROM will engage all types of learners. BrainCogs can be used in a variety of ways: one-on-one teaching, individualized study or as a whole class. Flexible, fun and full of learning and teaching strategies that can be expanded upon in every facet of the learning experience.
While each CD-ROM can accommodate up to 99 student records, it is recommended that you buy one CD for each computer in your classroom. A four-computer learning station model works best, so that students get ample time on the computer.
Emmy award winning FableVision Studios teamed with the Institute for Learning and Development to create this stellar coaching program. Also, generous support from Mass Interaction and US DOE made this project possible.
Based on research by the Institute for Learning and Development and Research ILD.
