About the Product

More than 2 decades ago, in the first three days of January 1997,  two hundred million internet hits were made to follow the progress of a space probe to Mars.

Your brain makes fifteen times as many new connections in one second as the world’s internet users made back then in three days.

We now know that every new learning forms new connections in the brain, and strengthens old connections. We also now know that each one of your brain cells is many times more powerful than the most powerful computer ever invented.

Each one of these cells connects to hundreds of thousands of other cells which, in turn, shuttle information back and forth between tens of thousands of others. Each cell, or neuron is capable of making more than twenty thousand connections with other cells.

The 10 titles in the Building Better Brains Resources ‘for the young and the young at heart’ will explain more about the workings of your brain and the many and varied thought-provoking activities will help to build a better brain.

Playing sport also helps you to understand the need for rules, learn how to work with others, learn how to lose and then reflect, learn more about yourself and others, use fantasy and think creatively.

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.” - John F. Kennedy

When Robert Palmer began his training at Ballarat Teachers’ College in the 1960’s his experiences had been as a receiver of education, rather than an encourager of thinking. The political climate at the time was all about ‘individual differences’ and ‘thematic studies’, but very few knew what these really meant. Robert certainly didn’t. While...
