What can we learn from distraction? When we lack focus, is it from boredom? Do we have too many tasks taking our time or is it a lack of understanding? Paying close attention to what we are doing is like shining a spot light in a dark room says Dr. James Lang of Assumption University.
Our brains have a range of capabilities that allow us to be productive while engaging in multiple activities. Human nature has evolved over time as we problem solve and develop creativity through our default networks. While we need to have focus, we also need to have time for our brains to rest and recharge. Dual capacity allows us to apply attention principles to teaching and learning which supports the architecture of the brain.
