So many teachers think that feeding the broccoli brain is the only way to get kids to learn, but feeding the dessert brain is what makes kids love to learn! I think technology is exactly the food to feed the dessert brain. The kids love technology so much they will really perform above and beyond their usual school work when given the chance to make something of their own. Thanks for sharing this!

I believe that the dessert mind is also the creative side of the brain. Think about when you cut sweets out of your diet. After awhile you lose the taste for sweets. It seems that students have lost their taste to be creative and think beyond multiple choice questions. I look forward to reading about your future projects. I LOVE this analogy.
