With all the brain research out there, the 1990's is referred to as the "Decade of the Brain" because the most discoveries have been made about how the brain works relating to education than ever before. Some of these findings are the result of many scientific investigations; others are made possible through the development of technology that enables scientists to see and study "new three-dimensional maps of the human brain." 

After reading the studying the research presented by Sousa, teachers are encouraged to use multi sensory methods and make classrooms "visually appealing places where learners are teachers, and teachers are learners." Introducing movement into lessons and providing active hands-on learning opportunities will help students process information and form lasting neural connections about the content. So if your classroom is lacking in visual appeal, time to get some effective visual aids that promote hands on learning!
